這是麥可．戈德和瑪麗安．馬謝德於1977年參與由英國皇家財產局委員會（Crown Estate Commissioners）主辦的米爾班克建築住宅設計競圖（Millbank Housing Competition）的提案，不僅對典型英國高層集合住宅提出批判，並延伸探討以現代主義住宅大樓象徵社會和科技進步的意識形態。其設計的菱形高樓，諷刺性地指涉這項建案的業主本人，即英國女皇和她的珠寶，但另一方面也代表住宅高樓的精緻化。平面圖上那張佔滿屋內空間、配上過大流蘇的條紋地毯，對立地突顯出現代主義摩天大樓的撙節。

Michael Gold and Marion Masheder’s scheme for the Millbank Housing Competition, organized by the Crown Estate Commissioners in 1977, stands as a critique of the typical British high-rise housing estates and more generally of the modernist housing tower as an icon of social and technological progress. Gold and Masheder’s diamond-shaped tower is an ironic reference to the client herself—the Queen and her jewels—but also a refinement of the idea of housing towers. The striped area rug with oversized tassels calls attention to the domestic occupation of the space as a counterpoint to the austerity of modernist skyscrapers.
