Neave Brown (22 May 1929 – 9 January 2018)[1][2] was an American-born British architect and artist. He specialized in modernist housing. Brown is the only architect to have had all his UK work listed:[3][4] a row of houses in Winscombe Street, the Dunboyne Road Estate and Alexandra Road Estate, all located in Camden.[5]

In October 2017, he won the Royal Gold Medal of the Royal Institute of British Architects for his Alexandra Road Estate, which is now considered a landmark of British social housing, and is Grade II* listed.[3][6]
