Building Information

Location: Peterlee, County Durham, UK
Architect/Artist: Victor Pasmore
Completed: 1969
Status: Restored, still in use as public art

Brief Overview:
The Apollo Pavilion was created as a central feature of Peterlee’s Sunny Blunts estate, combining abstract modernist sculpture with practical walkways. Built from reinforced concrete, it became both a playground and a landmark, surviving decades of controversy before being restored in 2009. Today, it is recognised as an important work of British public art.

Making my concrete model

Apollo Pavilion, Peterlee

The Apollo Pavilion miniature concrete model is made for people who love the place where art and architecture meet. Victor Pasmore's 1969 walk-through sculpture on Peterlee's Sunny Blunts estate spans a small lake in interlocking planes of reinforced concrete, like a modernist painting made solid. It was named after that year's moon landings. It survived decades of calls for demolition, was restored in 2009 and is now Grade II* listed. This concrete model of the Apollo Pavilion keeps its cantilevers and layered planes at 8cm, a piece of concrete art for a desk, shelf or studio table. It's for people from Peterlee and County Durham, artists, architects and fans of Brutalist architecture. It's as much a gift for a painter as for a designer. Each piece is hand-cast, so its texture is unique.
