The Isokon Building

Avanti won the competition to conserve and upgrade this Grade I listed sculptural landmark that had fallen into an acute state of disrepair. Through careful negotiation with Historic England and the 20th Century Society, wholescale upgrade in the performance of the external fabric and a new interior fit out scheme was agreed.

Avanti undertook a first phase of work to successfully regenerate the apartment building including comprehensive repairs to the fabric, new interior fit out of the apartments and improvements to the energy performance of the building.

Redundant space was repurposed to create a new public cultural offer in the form of the Isokon Gallery. Avanti has designed, curated and manages the gallery which attracts over 6,000 visitors per year.

The project received the RIBA Crown Conservation Award, the highest level of recognition for conservation projects.
