From within the kitchen, if the kitchen door was enlarged, one would see the
panorama above, which reveals the area directly behind the fireplace. To the far left in this
image is the bedroom door, through which the bed is visible. To the right of the bedroom is access
to the balcony, which wraps around the living room.
The compact, modern kitchen with its built-in appliances is shown in the detail view, above left.
Seems either Emma just had a party, or she is not particularly diligent about washing her dishes.
Next are two exterior views of the building; note the name visible in the second. The actual
location is Highpoint 2 in Highgate. Tony McKay reports that the statues by the entrance are a
result of the architect being told that Highpoint 1 was too "modern."
The architect was Tecton, a distinguished firm of British architects, established by Bernhold
Lubetkin. Denys Lasdun was at one time a partner. They designed the Penguin Pool and Gorilla
House at London Zoo; two blocks at Highpoint and North Hill flats at Highgate; Finsbury Health
Centre; and flats in Roseberry Avenue. |
