Hallfield housing estate
Hallfield housing estate
The Hallfield Estate is one of several modernist housing projects in Bayswater, designed in the immediate postwar period by the Tecton architecture practice, led by Berthold Lubetkin. Following the dissolution of Tecton, the project was realised by Denys Lasdun and Lindsay Drake in the 1950s. Construction took place in two phases during 1951–55 and 1955–58.

It comprises 15 blocks spread over roughly 17 acres, a laundry, and the Hallfield Primary School, also by Lasdun. Architecturally, the design shares much with similar Tecton projects of the period, including the Priory Green and Spa Green Estates, and the Finsbury Health Centre.

Hallfield was designated a conservation area by Westminster City Council in 1990. The majority of Estate buildings were listed Grade II in June 2011.
