Title
Buildings in Palace Gate
Description
View of 10 Palace Gate, Kensington. This Modernist block of flats was built in 1937-39 by the architect Wells Coates and is Grade II* listed; listing number 1357457. It is in the tradition of Le Corbusier and Walter Gropius, both of whom influenced Coates work. Coates applied his own three-two system of spatial layout within this building. An innovative system of reinforced concrete was used by engineers Samuely and Hamaan, and it is clad in concrete panels. It has a flat roof and metal-framed windows, and the front section is slightly concave. It is a warm day as many windows are open. A man in suit and hat is standing on the left with his hands in his pockets and his back to the camera. Another man on the right, also wearing a hat, is in shirt sleeves and walking down steps. It is a quiet road with few parked cars including an estate car with the driver sitting in it with the door open.
