What happens when you mix modernism, espionage, and a few Bauhaus legends in one London apartment block? You get the Isokon Building.
Tim and Kev head to North London to visit the legendary 1934 modernist icon designed by Wells Coates and developed by Jack and Molly Pritchard. Once home to Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer, Agatha Christie and a bunch of spies, Isokon was a radical experiment in minimalist living that has stood the test of time.
