Archway Tower, Brutalist high-rise building in Archway district, London, England.
The 59.5-meter residential tower features 18 floors with a geometric concrete structure and large glass panels arranged in a systematic grid pattern.
Built in 1963 as an office complex, the structure underwent a complete transformation in 2016, converting the space into residential apartments with modern insulation systems.
The tower exemplifies the post-war British architectural movement that sought to address urban housing shortages through vertical construction methods.
The building's renovation incorporated Dekton cladding panels across 3,000 square meters of exterior surface, providing enhanced thermal and acoustic protection for residents.
The tower's transformation from commercial to residential use required the installation of new ventilated facades with UV-resistant materials that maintain color consistency.
