Looking for somewhere ridiculously cool to live? This 1950s Erno Goldfinger modern apartment in London NW1 might fit the bill.
It’s also grade II-listed, one of Goldfinger’s first post-war works, built between 1954-56 and described by the agent as ‘the first stage of his progression from the restrained modern classicism of his Willow Road terrace towards the tougher, exposed grid, which was to go on to dominate his later iconic works.’
Of course, in light of the architecture and postcode, this is never going to be cheap. If you want to live here, the asking price is £1,100,000, with a service charge of approximately £1,500 per annum to consider too -- via WowHaus

Episode 3 of ASSET ARREST's mini-series on culture-led housing looks at Bow Arts in London and their provision of 'affordable' housing for artists, which operates to a property-guardianship framework. I speak to artist Rab Harling (aka Balfron Social Club), an ex-resident of the flats they managed between 2007-14 at the iconic Balfron Tower - a brutalist tower block designed by Erno Goldfinger - in Poplar. He talks about his experience there and his ongoing fight against the artwashing and social cleansing that took place. I then hear from a current resident of the properties they currently manage in an estate in Thamesmead, which are planned for demolition within the next few years.

'99% Invisible' is a podcast about the aspects of design that shape our world. In this episode, the work of brutalist architect, Erno Goldfinger, is discussed. His work was so despised by the popular novelist and former spy, Ian Fleming, that he named his villain Goldfinger after him.
