Building Information

Location: New Oxford Street, London, UK
Architect: Richard Seifert & Partners
Engineer: Pell Frischmann
Completed: 1966
Status: Grade II listed, mixed-use redevelopment
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.

Making my concrete model

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.

Centre Point, London

The Centre Point miniature concrete model is a piece for people with strong feelings about London's skyline, and most Londoners have them about this building. Richard Seifert's 1966 tower on New Oxford Street went from a symbol of empty offices to a Grade II listed landmark of London modernism, and its precast honeycomb façade makes it unmistakable. This concrete model of Centre Point stands tall and slim on a desk or shelf, a miniature concrete building with the presence of the real one. It's for West End workers, architects, students of post-war architecture and anyone who grew up with it on the horizon. As a Brutalist architecture gift, it starts conversations. Collectors can pair it with the Space House and NLA Tower models. Each one is hand-cast in solid concrete, with its own texture and weight.
