Description:
Look familiar? The Balfron Tower was a forerunner of the Trellick. Goldfinger lived here himself for a short while, and would host champagne evenings for the tenants at which he would grill them for ideas and improvements he then incorporated into Trellick. Balfron is a little shorter than its West London cousin at 84 m; both towers are grade II* listed. On the same estate are Carradale and Glenkerry Houses, also designed by our man, and incorporating many of the same features. Particularly Glenkerry, which is 14 storeys high and also sports a concrete 'head' atop the lift shaft. The three buildings form part of the Brownfield Estate, which mostly consists of cooperative housing schemes. (And little shits, on bicycles that are too big for them.)
