Trellick Tower, London, Ernő Goldfinger Tapestry

Trellick Tower is a modernist tower block in Kensal Town, London. Opened in 1972, it had been commissioned by the Greater London Council and designed in the Brutalist style by architect Ernő Goldfinger. It was the last major project he worked on, and featured various space-saving designs, along with a separate access tower containing a plant room. It has a long, thin profile, with a separate lift and service tower linked at every third storey to the access corridors in the main building, which overall has 31 floors. Flats above and below the corridor levels have internal stairs, while the 23rd and 24th floors are taken up by maisonettes split over the two floors.
