| This building contains extensive office space and 25 flats. It is constructed in loadbearing brickwork and demonstrates the maximum height that normal traditional construction can reasonably achieve. This form of construction, and the height of six/seven storeys, was adopted throughout Europe in capital cities before the days of electric lifts and steel. This building follows an earlier design at Gray's Inn by Erith and Terry, built in 1971, for a four-storey office building with sash windows. The central door surround is influenced by late Roman trompe l'oeil perspective with motifs culled from Studio d'Architettura by Rossi. |
