Hungarian-born architect Ernö Goldfinger (1902-1987) moved to Britain in the 1930s, and was an important if controversial figure in the British Modern Movement. His strong conviction that Corbusian-influenced high-rise housing was the answer to Britain’s post-war housing problems won him many admirers. It also gained him his fair share of detractors, including the James Bond author Ian Fleming, who named his most notorious villain after the architect. Goldfinger’s most recognised social-housing project is Trellick Tower in London’s North Kensington, with its separate service tower creating a distinctive silhouette. More restrained is the row of three houses on Willow Road in Hampstead, the middle of which was Goldfinger’s own home and is now a fascinating “museum” that is in the care of the National Trust and open to the public.
