Description |
|
A suite of 3 office buildings looking more
like a cathedral than a place of business
and reflecting that idea it has been
described as postmodern Gothic in
style. Pevsner says of it that, "All three blocks have rosy polished granite cladding in a bewildering variety of fins and angles, like Hanseatic Gothic done in stiff folded paper. From a distance the dominent feature is the great steep gables with upswept ends, housing the services." Three life-sized horse sculptures by Althea Wynne stand outside the Mincing Street entrance. |
