Trellick Tower: Concrete Models of London’s Brutalist High-Rise

Trellick Tower is one of London’s most famous Brutalist buildings. A 31-storey residential tower designed by Ernő Goldfinger and completed in 1972. Rising above West London, it is instantly recognisable for its slender service tower, dramatic sky bridges, and raw bush-hammered concrete surfaces.

Built as social housing, Trellick Tower was part of a bold vision for postwar urban living. Its design combined expressive sculptural form with functional clarity. Every detail shaped by Goldfinger’s belief in architecture as a public good. Over the decades, the building has gone from being controversial to celebrated, and is now a Grade II*-listed icon of British Brutalism.

This collection features my hand-cast concrete models of Trellick Tower, made to capture its striking silhouette, bold verticals, and distinctive tower-and-bridge profile. Whether you know it as a London landmark, a piece of design history, or a personal part of the city’s skyline, these pieces are made to honour one of the most enduring symbols of Brutalist architecture.

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.
