Designed by Chamberlin, Powell and Bon, it rises 43 storeys above the City with a distinct profile of recessed balconies and vertical concrete fins. Together with Lauderdale and Shakespeare Towers, it defines one of the most ambitious housing projects ever built in Britain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1070\" data-start=\"776\"\u003eThis model captures its precise vertical rhythm. The balance of the bays, the set-back balconies, and the clarity of proportion had to be carefully refined at a smaller scale.
