Brutalist Car Parks: Concrete Models of Multi-Storey Icons

Brutalist car parks are some of the most sculptural and uncompromising forms in postwar architecture. Designed to be functional, durable, and sometimes unapologetically strange, they stand as monuments to a particular moment in urban design when raw concrete and bold geometry were used to shape even the most utilitarian spaces.

This collection features miniature concrete models of Brutalist multi-storey car parks, including the now-demolished Welbeck Street Car Park in London. With its tessellated diamond façade, Welbeck became one of the most photographed and fiercely defended examples of concrete car park architecture in the UK.

These models are small tributes to these overlooked but deeply expressive buildings designed for anyone who appreciates the drama of shadow, structure, and repetition. Whether you’re an architect, urban explorer, or collector of Brutalist design, these pieces preserve the presence of concrete forms that were never meant to last, but should never be forgotten.

About Spaceplay’s Brutalist Models and Designs

Every piece I make starts with a real building that is studied, drawn, and transformed into a work you can hold, display, or share as a gift. My collections include miniature concrete models, layered wood reliefs, and black-and-white risograph prints, all inspired by the forms, textures, and details of Brutalist and modernist architecture from the UK and around the world.

Each model is hand-cast in small batches using custom moulds that I make, with designs based on iconic landmarks, social housing estates, tower blocks, and civic buildings. From Trellick Tower and the National Theatre to Alexandra and Ainsworth Estate, Centre Point, and the Barbican Centre, these pieces pay tribute to some of the most recognisable and celebrated examples of postwar concrete architecture.

Whether you’re searching for architectural gifts, Brutalist home décor, or a collectible sculpture that connects to a personal memory, these collections are designed for architects, designers, students, collectors, and anyone drawn to the bold geometry and raw materiality of Brutalism.
