Centre Point – Miniature Concrete Model

Model 056_Centre Point – Miniature Concrete Model
Hand-cast in fine concrete. Shaped by memory.

Some towers seem to hold the story of a whole city in their frame. Centre Point, completed in 1966, was designed by Richard Seifert & Partners and engineered by Pell Frischmann. Standing at the eastern gateway to Oxford Street, it was one of London’s first major post-war skyscrapers and quickly became a symbol of the city’s changing skyline. Its bold concrete lattice façade and rhythmic geometry made it both controversial and celebrated as a monument to modernism at the centre of London life.

This model focuses on its unmistakable facade grid. Each window recess, each vertical bay, and the tower’s balanced proportions were refined at a smaller scale to preserve the rhythm and lightness of Seifert’s original design. I wanted the cast to capture its clarity and confidence.

A small cast of one of London’s defining modernist towers.

Brief Overview:
Centre Point is a 34-storey tower originally designed as office space, later converted into apartments. Its reinforced concrete frame and precast grid façade represent one of the boldest examples of London’s 1960s commercial architecture. Once criticised as a symbol of urban inequality, it is now recognised as one of the city’s most important modernist landmarks, marking the centre of London both geographically and culturally.

ALL EU ORDERS processed through our Etsy Store HERE

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.
