Stepped terraces cascade down the riverside landscape, each room with its own balcony, combining community and individuality in one of the boldest visions of student housing ever built.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"802\" data-end=\"1103\"\u003eThis model celebrates their distinctive rhythm. The stepped profile, the deep shadow lines, and the balance of mass and openness had to be carefully scaled down to preserve their character. It was important to me that the cast felt both geometric and humane, like the original buildings themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1105\" data-end=\"1166\"\u003eA small cast of one of Britain’s most iconic student halls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1282\" data-start=\"1072\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1084\" data-start=\"1072\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1087\" data-start=\"1084\"\u003e• Solid cast concrete, individually hand-poured\u003cbr\u003e• 4.5\u003cspan\u003ecm high, 10cm wide, 7cm deep (approx)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1141\" data-start=\"1138\"\u003e• Laser-etched cork base with building name\u003cbr data-end=\"1187\" data-start=\"1184\"\u003e• Comes gift-boxed for the perfect concrete gift\u003cbr data-end=\"1238\" data-start=\"1235\"\u003e• Designed, modelled, and finished in the UK\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1282\" data-start=\"1072\"\u003eMade for alumni, students, architects, and admirers of Lasdun’s work. This model is a keepsake of a building that holds memories of study, friendship, and independence.
