entre Point
Location: London, UK
Architect: Richard Seifert & Partners
Completed: 1966
Status: Category II Listed
Brief Overview: Centre Point is one of London’s most striking post-war skyscrapers, a bold example of 1960s speculative architecture designed by George Marsh of R. Seifert & Partners. Rising 117 meters above St Giles Circus, this Brutalist landmark was constructed using precast concrete segments, giving it its distinctive modular façade. Initially left empty for nearly a decade by property tycoon Harry Hyams, it became a symbol of both ambition and controversy—an ‘empty skyscraper’ that inspired the naming of the homeless charity Centrepoint. Now a Grade II listed building, Centre Point has undergone transformations from office space to luxury flats, yet its iconic presence remains a reminder of London’s ever-shifting architectural and social landscape.
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 never exactly the same.
