Trellick Tower was designed by Erno Goldfinger and was built in 1968-1972. It is considered to be "the ultimate expression of Goldfinger's philosophy of high-rise planning", combining social accommodation and modern design. The block includes communal areas, community centre, space saving features, and balconies. Slight variations in the structure ensured the apartments were not uniform.
