2 Willow Road - Hampstead, London, UK - National Trust U.K. on Waymarking.com

The architect for this modernist set of three homes connected by a terrace was Erno Goldfinger. The James Bond novelist was one of the neighbors who opposed the project in 1938. The site is managed by The National Trust.
Wikipedia (visit link) adds:
"The building is supported by an external concrete frame, leaving room for a spacious interior uncluttered by structure, perhaps inspired by the Raumplan ideas of modernist architect Adolf Loos.[1]

Goldfinger himself designed much of the furniture in No. 2, and the house also contains a significant collection of 20th-century art by Bridget Riley, Marcel Duchamp, Henry Moore and Max Ernst.

Entry is by timed ticket, and facilities are very limited. Nos. 1 and 3 remain private homes."
