Model 035_Space House – Miniature Concrete Model
Hand-cast in fine concrete. Shaped by memory.
Some buildings look like they’ve landed from another world. Space House, designed by Richard Seifert and completed in 1968, is one of London’s most distinctive modernist office towers. Its cylindrical form, ringed with diamond-patterned concrete panels, rises above Holborn with a sculptural presence that feels futuristic even today.
This model captures the tower’s unique geometry. The repeating diamond façade, the smooth curve of the structure, and the balance of rhythm and form all had to work together at a small scale. I wanted the miniature to carry the same sense of boldness that makes the real building unforgettable.
A small cast of a tower that still feels ahead of its time.

My concrete sculptures are individually hand cast in solid concrete. This means that each piece will have distinctive markings and minor blemishes due to air bubbles in the concrete. This is a natural part of the material and will mean that no two pieces are ever exactly the same.

Materials
Materials
My concete models are all made using a fine grain quickset cement with a polymer additive. This gives a good balance between strength and detail casting. However concrete is a brittle material so the models are delicate and can break with impact.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Concrete is a brittle material so these models are delicate objects. They can be chipped or cracked easily and need to be protected from knocks or falls.
My concrete mix is also not waterproof so you should protected your model from damp and moisture.
Extreme changes in temperature will cause expansion and contraction inside the concrete model potentially leading to cracks forming. Keep your model out of direct sunlight and away from heating systems.
