Welbeck Street Car Park Concrete Model – Miniature Brutalist Architecture Sculpture, London

Model 002_Welbeck Street Car Park – Miniature Concrete Model
Hand-cast in fine concrete. Shaped by memory.

Some buildings stand out by turning the ordinary into something extraordinary.
Welbeck Street Car Park was one of London’s most recognisable hidden landmarks—a multi-storey car park transformed by its geometric concrete diamond façade. Built in the 1970s for department store shoppers in Marylebone, its bold, repeating pattern became a massive icon of British Brutalism.

I knew I had to make this model before the building disappeared.
Before its demolition in 2019, I studied every angle I could, determined to preserve it through portraying it in miniature. Capturing those interlocking concrete diamonds at a scale that made sense was a test of patience and precision. It took trial, error, and a lot of care.

What remains is a small monument to a lost London favourite—solid, tactile, and here to stay.

This model keeps its memory alive on a shelf or desk. A conversation piece for anyone who misses its pattern, or for those who believe even a car park can be a work of art when shaped with vision.

Building Information

Architect: Michael Blampied & Partners

Brief Overview:
Welbeck Street Car Park served as a utilitarian car park for the nearby Debenhams store but gained cult status for its striking diamond-shaped concrete façade panels. Long championed by preservationists and Brutalist enthusiasts, it was ultimately demolished to make way for a hotel—leaving behind photos, memories, and now, a small concrete keepsake.



Please note:
My 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 ever exactly the same.
