Archway Tower, Brutalist high-rise building in Archway district, London, England.
Description
Archway Tower is an 18-story residential building standing approximately 60 meters tall in the Archway district of North London. The structure combines a concrete frame with large glass panels arranged in a regular grid, while the exterior is covered with modern cladding panels for improved performance.
History
The building was constructed in 1963 as an office complex on this North London site. It underwent complete renovation in 2016 to convert it into apartments, modernizing all interior systems and technical infrastructure.

Practical
The building is located in a busy urban area with good access to public transport. Note that this is a private residential building, so public access is limited to common areas or exterior viewing.
Did you know?
