Landmark Trust Celebrates 60 Years of Heritage Restoration in London

The Roy O. Allen House, a notable example of mid-century modern architecture originally designed by a founding partner of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, has been meticulously renovated for contemporary living. Drawing inspiration from Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona Pavilion, the residence features signature elements like steel beams, expansive glass walls, and a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Under Michael Brown’s stewardship, modern updates have enhanced the home’s functionality without compromising its original architectural integrity. The renovation preserves the minimalist aesthetic and structural rhythm while introducing refined touches that respect the home's legacy. The property, now listed for sale, exemplifies a successful fusion of architectural history and modern design sensibility.
