Radoma Court was designed in 1937 by the Harold Le Roith practice of architects. It is situated prominently on a corner site in Bellevue, at stand 474 where Cavendish and Yeo Streets meet.
At the time of construction, it was considered the most important block of flats in the international style of the modern movement.[2] Clive Chipkin describes Radoma Court as ‘a stunning building’ and it has gained iconic status.
A corner building, Radoma Court has its facade on the South and West boundaries of Cavendish and Yeo streets in Bellevue, Gauteng. Erected prior to the war, the building comprises 27 flats, of which 4 have two bedrooms and the rest are bachelor flats, and a basement parking garage. The building has been published both in South Africa and overseas and is regarded by student and architects as iconic.[3]
