Sutton Court Road

Vigilant House by Robert J. Wood & Partners, 1961-6, still in the Miesian tradition with itsseventeen storeys of curtain walling. The structure is of reinforced concrete, cantilevered out on two sides, so that, as one approaches, the building seems to float above a void  - in fact a sunken car park. Spandrel panels are in a neutral pale green; the top floor is finished off neatly by a broad black band.

Sentinel House, is of four storeys, with the same details, but on stilts. Linked to Vigilant House by an ingenious T-shaped entrance bridge over the car park.

Two four-storey blocks linked by a greenhouse-type projecting gallery at third-floor level. The lift to the gallery in a separate tower. Four staircases painted in bright primarycolours. Whether this high-technology approach appeals theresidents is another matter.
