Frinstead House is a Brutalist tower block completed in 1964 on the Silchester Estate in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, London. Rising 61.7 metres, the building exemplifies the austere concrete-and-brick vocabulary of mid-century Brutalism, with its stark forms and emphasis on raw materials characteristic of the style's monumental approach to public housing. Built as part of the estate's postwar residential development, it remains a notable example of the era's modernist ambitions for urban apartment living.
