Model 037_High Point – Miniature Concrete Model – Miniature Concrete Model
Hand-cast in fine concrete. Shaped by memory.
Some buildings stand tall as markers of ambition. High Point in Bradford, completed in 1972, rises above the city centre with its crisp white concrete and rhythmic verticals. Designed by John Brunton of Abbey Hanson Rowe, it was originally built for the Yorkshire Building Society and has since become one of Bradford’s most recognisable post-war landmarks. Its name feels apt—it remains a defining feature of the skyline.
This model focuses on its clean, vertical rhythm. The strong lines and repeating bays had to feel precise at a smaller scale, while keeping the sense of height and lightness. I worked to make sure the miniature carried the same clarity that gives the real building its presence.
A small cast of Bradford’s modernist landmark.

Brief Overview:
High Point is an 8-storey modernist building in Bradford city centre, originally built as the Yorkshire Building Society headquarters.

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.
