Another development by the startlingly prolific Richard Seifert & Partners, c1970. The brown cladding is not particularly attractive, but the stainless steel fins help (Image]), and the lower block appears as if propped up on concrete stilts. The whole thing has been empty since 2007, but planning permission has recently been granted for conversion into a mixed-use development. (I don't think there is any other kind these days.)
