Ernő Goldfinger

Golders Green NW11 8LH

One of Ernő Goldfinger’s obscurer buildings, 2 Golders Green Road was originally designed in 1935 as a hairdressing salon, but was converted into a shop for S. Weiss ladies’ clothing. Situated on a corner of the high street, Goldfinger planned the redesign and rebuild of this site to include a curved glass second floor. Goldfinger also redesigned the interior of the shop and its fittings. Despite now being widely known for his brutalist tower blocks, Goldfinger designed a number of shop interiors during the 1930s.
