Set into the wall of Trellick Tower's lobby, this concrete square (maybe about 3 metres on each side) is pierced with stained glass panels.
Trellick Tower is a 31-storey apartment block on the Cheltenham Estate in Kensal Green, West London. It was designed in a brutalist style by Hungarian architect Ernő Goldfinger, and opened in 1972.

Trellick Tower in W10 west London is a skyline view, i had for the first 18 years of my life. It was designed by Erno Goldfinger and completed in 1972.
Another fine example of London's Brutalist architecture, this is the Trellick Tower in west London, in the Westbourne Park area.
Designed by the Hungarian architect Ernő Goldfinger and completed in 1972, it seems to be just as divisive a design as most of the rest of London's notable Brutalist buildings.
Originally social housing, and it contains many units that are still of that category, but also has some privately-owned flats which are pretty sought-after due to this buildings iconic status.
Tricky to photograph from up close due to its height, but I think my tilt shift lens did a pretty good job of capturing it in a single frame.
I did feel slightly uneasy standing there with my camera though as I was drawing suspicious looks from various people walking past. It definitely felt like the kind of area in which if I'd have hung around much longer photographing the tower I would have been risking harrassment.
