The simple right angled geometric blocks (nicely contrasting with the circular shaped tree) owe much to the Bauhaus School of Design. The building also reflects a public and private corporate style much used in the 1930's-1950's of a longer lower recessed frontage between larger taller end blocks. Reminiscent of Hornsey Town Hall only a couple of miles away. Doubtless the flat roof will cause later problems but for now a pleasing piece of public building. Not only not out of keeping with its surroundings but a relief from the tyranny of bland high rise developments in the Borough.
