Building Information

Location: Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire, Scotland
Architect: Leslie Hugh Wilson for Cumbernauld Development Corporation
Completed: 1967 (first phase)
Status: Under partial demolition

Brief Overview:
Cumbernauld Town Centre was designed as a futuristic multi-use megastructure for Scotland’s first New Town. Blending retail, housing, and civic space, it stood as a radical alternative to conventional town planning. Though widely debated and partially demolished in recent years, its architectural significance endures as one of the UK’s most ambitious Brutalist constructions.

Making my concrete model

Cumbernauld Town Centre, Cumbernauld

If you grew up in Cumbernauld, you've got opinions about the town centre, and this Cumbernauld Town Centre miniature concrete model is for you. Building began in 1967, with Geoffrey Copcutt leading the design under chief architect Leslie Hugh Wilson. It stacked shops, flats, offices and civic spaces into one long concrete megastructure above the road, one of the most radical ideas in British Brutalism. Much of it is now being demolished, but this concrete model of Cumbernauld Town Centre keeps the original vision intact at 10cm, a piece of concrete art for a desk or shelf. It's made for Cumbernauld locals, planners, architects and anyone fascinated by Brutalist architecture at its most ambitious, and it's a gift with plenty to talk about. Each one is hand-cast in solid concrete.
