EDITORS COMMENTS
Trellick Tower, an iconic symbol of Brutalist architecture, stands proudly at 5 Goldborne Road in North Kensington, London. Designed by Hungarian-born architect Erno Goldfinger between 1968 and 1972, this 31-storey concrete tower is a post-war masterpiece listed as Grade II*. Goldfinger's design was revolutionary for its time, challenging the traditional norms of residential architecture. The tower's raw, unadorned concrete exterior, with its repeating geometric patterns, reflects the Brutalist ethos of exposing the building's structural elements. The tower's name, Trellick, comes from the nearby Trellick Community Centre, which was also designed by Goldfinger. The tower's elevation, as captured in this photograph by James O. Davies for Historic England, showcases the tower's unique and striking features. The balconies, which jut out from the building, provide residents with outdoor space and a sense of connection to the community. The tower's windows, arranged in a regular grid pattern, add to its uniform and orderly appearance. Despite initial controversy and opposition from local residents, Trellick Tower has become a cherished part of London's architectural landscape. Its bold design and innovative use of concrete have influenced generations of architects and continue to inspire new generations. This photograph serves as a testament to Goldfinger's vision and the enduring legacy of Brutalist architecture in the UK.
