Love that building, such great architecture!

[@shanesaville4313]

I love this tower! 👍

[@michaelhewitt1986]

As soon as I saw that building I fell in love with it.

[@elgee6202]

Why? What about it exactly? It must be unsurprising to you that most people consider Trellick one of the ugliest buildings in the country. I'm curious as to what Brutalism lovers find so appealing about it.

Use to live there between 1973 to 1976 ❤lovely flats 😊

[@jeshkam]

And some nice views probably, right?

[@MajorCaliber]

Designed and erected during the height of the US Apollo Moon Landing Program, the elevation is highly evocative of a large "rocket" (service tower) sitting on the launch pad, attached to its "gantry" (main building) by multiple umbilical cords... plus that scheme is just a great idea for fire safety, noise isolation, etc

[@MajorCaliber]

UNlike many other tower blocks of that era which were shabbily built with pre-fabricated "Large Panel Systems" (LPS), such as the infamous Ronan Point, etc., Goldfinger's many towers (Trellick, Balfron, Carradale, Glenkerry) were all built with Cast-in-Place (CIP) concrete of generous dimensions, and will stand indefinitely... with reasonable maintenance.

[@beataolszewska9518]

Thats the 21st floor

[@samanthabarry5817]

That’s the floor we lived on

[@L.C.Sweeney]

Truly, the ugliest building I've ever seen.

[@petitpois8813]

The rooms inside, are huge. Not like the match boxes they have now.

[@L.C.Sweeney]

@@petitpois8813 still the ugliest building I've ever seen. It's an eyesore and it's the only tall building around for several miles in its surroundings which means it sticks out as an arrogant, brown shit.
