Designed by Chamberlin, Powell and Bon, it rises 43 storeys above the city with a profile of repeating verticals and projecting balconies. Alongside Cromwell and Shakespeare Towers, it forms part of the most ambitious example of post-war housing in Britain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1042\" data-start=\"769\"\u003eThis model captures its vertical rhythm. The slender bays, the depth of the balconies, and the sense of height were carefully reduced into miniature scale.
