Modernist architectural wreck


 
Came across this building whilst out for a stroll the other day. It stumped us. A modernist ruin? It looked too 'young' to be abandoned already. Neither of us could work out its age. Late-60s? Early-70s? I doubted it was even a house at first, such was its condition. It's to the side of a drive leading to a tower block so we thought it might have once been inhabited by the caretaker. Whatever, it's tragic modernist-dream-ruined state is, to me, mysterious. London's filled with great modernist houses, of course, but this is the first in 'ruin' that we've seen.
