Built between 1961 and 1965, the fully glazed tower rises from sixteen exposed concrete columns, its rectilinear form often compared to Miesian skyscrapers like the Seagram Building. Inside, it contains one of the largest surviving paternoster lifts in Europe. English Heritage once described it as one of the most elegant university towers of its time, and it remains a key landmark in Sheffield’s modern architecture. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]\" data-testid=\"webpage-citation-pill\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eALL EU ORDERS \u003c\/strong\u003eprocessed through our Etsy Store\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Arts Tower - miniature concrete model\" href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/uk\/listing\/4408613603\/arts-tower-sheffield-miniature-concrete\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHERE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy concrete sculptures are individually hand cast in solid concrete.

The Romanita Collective Housing Tower in Chișinău, Moldova, is one of the most extraordinary residential buildings of the late Soviet period. Designed by architect Oleg Vronski and completed in 1986, its slender cylindrical core is surrounded by stacked rings of projecting balconies, giving the tower a form that feels both mechanical and organic. Originally conceived as collective housing, Romanita has become an unmistakable symbol of Chișinău and a cult favourite among admirers of Soviet modernism.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model was about capturing that remarkable repetition.

Its distinctive circular balconies create the stacked, almost floral profile that gave the tower its name, derived from the Romanian word for chamomile. Built during the final years of the Soviet Union, it has since become one of Moldova's best-known examples of late modernist architecture and an enduring landmark on the Chișinău skyline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eALL EU ORDERS \u003c\/strong\u003eprocessed through our Etsy Store \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/uk\/listing\/4555397806\/romanita-collective-housing-tower-chiinu\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Romanita - miniature concrete model\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHERE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy concrete models are made to order and individually hand-cast in solid concrete.
