Highfield Court is a mid-sized block of modernist flats located in Golders Green.

Completed in 1935, it was designed by architect Amnon Vivien Pilichowski.

Pilichowski was born in France in 1907 to Jewish painter and community leader Leopold Pilichowski of Lodz, Poland. He studied architecture at London’s Architectural Association school and was part of Berthold Lubetkin’s Tecton firm, collaborating with them on houses in Genesta Road. While with Tecton, Pilichowski helped design Highfield Court, creating a notable example of modernist architecture in 1930s London. This apartment block reflects Pilichowski’s continental training and emerging modernist approach, brought to realisation in the Jewish community of suburban Golders Green.
