Middlesex is an expressionist architectural ensemble in Hilversum, Netherlands, designed by Jacob London and completed in 1921. Built in brick, this housing estate exemplifies the geometric and dynamic formal language of early twentieth-century expressionism. Designated as a Rijksmonument complex, Middlesex represents a significant example of Dutch modernist residential design from the interwar period.
