The Barbican Centre – Miniature Concrete Model
Hand-cast in fine concrete. Shaped by memory.

Some buildings feel like whole worlds. The Barbican Centre is one of them. Tucked deep within the Barbican Estate, this vast, multi-level complex is all walkways, shadow lines, terraces and towers, a sculptural maze that hosts some of London’s most vital cultural life. Concerts, films, exhibitions, stillness. Brutalist concrete with a pulse.

Made for those who’ve wandered its raised walkways, lost time in its concert halls, or found joy in the quiet echo of its foyers.

This model speaks to that memory. A small presence with big weight—ideal for anyone who knows how architecture can hold atmosphere, and how the Barbican still does it better than anywhere else.

Details

A weighty fragment of a complex whole—ready to keep close.

"It’s one I’ve revisited again and again. From the horizontal striations to the bold cantilevers and raw texture, the Barbican Centre resists simplification. Capturing its layered mass in miniature meant choosing what to keep and what to hint at—what detail to honour, and what feeling to preserve. The final model holds that balance."

- Comes gift-boxed for the perfect concrete gift
- Designed, modelled, and finished in the UK
