Alpha Tower
Location: Birmingham, England
Architect: George Marsh of Richard Seifert & Partners
Completed: 1973
Status: Grade II Listed
Brief Overview: Alpha Tower was originally designed and built as the headquarters of the commercial television company ATV (Associated Television). Following ATVs closure in 1982, Alpha Tower became offices- and was where Birmingham City Council were located until 2010. Alpha Tower also featured in Cliff Richards 'Take Me High' film in 1974. A great quote from English Heritage explains Alpha Towers importance to Birmingham;
'The building is one of the most aesthetically successful office buildings in Birmingham with a shaped outline and careful detailing giving it a dynamic forcefulness. Its design successfully combined several ideas into a powerful and elegant building which soon became, and has continued to be, one of the most popular landmarks of the rebuilding of Birmingham city centre in the mid 20th century.'

Our 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.
