Corringham is a residential apartment block in Bayswater, Central London. It was designed by Kenneth Frampton in 1960-62 and Grade II listed in 1998. The building is unusual in the way that the flats are arranged. Each flat is arranged over four levels so that a sequence of spaces, starting at the entrance off a central corridor, goes either above or below the central corridor. This enables each flat to be double aspect with living rooms at the front of the building and bedrooms at the back of the building looking out onto the communal gardens.
