High Point 04 N61
Architect - Berthold Lubetkin, (Russia) and Tecton. Construction Date - 1933 - 1935 br/Highpoint One was initially commissioned by Sigmund Gestetner, head of his family's office equipment firm, as social housing for his workers. Lubetkin was given free reign to develop his ideas and to construct a suitable monument to architectural and social progress. The result was a bright white seven-storey double-cruciform block, comprising sixty-four apartments, built on a hill in north London (which meant that those on the top floor occupied the highest residential location in the city).
