It was designed in a modernist style by Peter Tábori and Ken Adie for Camden Council's Architects Department.

[2] The estate was designed by Tábori initially as his final year project at the Regents Street Polytechnic under the name Highgate New Town; Sydney Cook, the head of Camden Architects Department went on to commission Tábori to make the estate a reality.

[1] The estate comprises 6 parallel terraces with pedestrian streets running between; it is built primarily out of precast concrete with dark-stained timber used for the doors and windows.

[1] There is a small park, a sports pitch and a children's playground on the estate grounds as well as numerous planters containing greenery lining the streets.

The pedestrian streets provide a safe, walkable area where children are able to play, residents are able to socialise and the estate's many cats are frequently seen.
