The ugliest 21st Century residential building in East Dulwich

[macroban]

My nomination goes to Altima Court.

[seanmlow]

......I used to rent one of those. Go inside - different story - very nice indeed.

Try the vile building on DK Hill - which has won shit loads of architectural awards!

[macroban]

I watched Altima Court being built. You probably did too. What is the design life?

[citizenED]

Don't mind the one on DKH myself - or Altima Court - I'd nominate the nondescript block that's just gone up by the CPT.

[SimonM]

The one (still empty long after completion) at the junction of Overhill & Underhill Roads.

[Brendan]

That new yellow and orange plastic railing that runs down LL.

Yes - top prize to this one. It has absolutely no merit whatsoever, either to look at or (see above) to live in.

[She'llsurvive]

what about the one with the great view of the railway line and the empty shop at the bottom?

[kford]

That sprawling collection of nonsense called GV15 by ED railway station. Unimaginative and depressing.

DKH is pretty good; the wood and dark grey look modern and well-coordinated. Ditto the block opposite - Mary Seacow Court or something - especially when the sun hits the bright brick-red staircase in the evening.

NB: 3-bed flat in Overhill/Underhill block: ?390k.

[Brendan]

That's Mary Seacole, as in the Jamaican nurse who cared for soldiers in the Crimean war.

[*Bob*]

That's her - the one who lost the PR battle with Florence Nightingale (surprise)

Gets my vote too.

[ruffers]

It also provides the most entertainment. I don't pass it that often but when I do there's the excitement of wondering if anyone's in it yet.

The genius of the large, horrible windows is that you can see how crap it is from the outside without even having to go if for a viewing.

They could fill it with water and fish - it might make a nice aquarium.

Swapping the fish for Foxtons employees would be a better idea.

[Keef]

Another vote here for the Underhill/Overhill thing.

[seanmlow]

I agree with the ones by the CPT. They are so boring looking - and a 2 bed is 1,900 pcm!

[SimonM]

I see Foxton's recently took over the letting/sale of the Overhill/Underhill Carbuncle.....Maybe they'll all move there when they're forced to sell the LL Flagship?>:D

yes, the swap would be good, but keep some hungry sharks in there too, for the sport!

[bob]

Has to be the bland boxy thing opp the CPT

[Michael Palaeologus]

The CPT thing - there is no excuse for boring design and no balconies.

I live in Altima Court. Sod off.

[AD]

I vote Underhill/Overhill road block. They stick out like a saw thumb and have been empty for a year, no wonder either given the bedrooms are both very small and they were on the market for ?328k. Crazy !!!!!!

Might not need any

[Eliza.D]

The ugliest building has to be the Social Sevices office next to the Swimming Pool.

I love the way this forum can turn almost any conversation into estate agent genocide. Keep it up folks it?s far more entertaining than racism and homophobia which seem to be the flavour of the week at the moment.
