Brutalist Landmarks: Iconic Concrete Buildings in Miniature

Some Brutalist buildings go beyond their function to become icons. Whether celebrated or controversial, these Brutalist landmarks have etched themselves into the architectural story of our cities. Their bold geometry, textured concrete, and monumental presence make them instantly recognisable, and impossible to ignore.

This collection brings together small-scale tributes to some of the most famous Brutalist buildings in the UK and beyond. From the jagged terraces of Alexandra and Ainsworth Estate, to the vertical drama of Trellick Tower, and the layered mass of the National Theatre, each model is hand-cast in concrete and made to honour the form, feeling, and legacy of these buildings.

Whether you’re collecting as an architect, designer, or someone who simply loves concrete, these pieces represent the giants of Brutalist design — buildings that shaped not just skylines, but how we feel about our built environment.

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.
