Metropolitan House, Hagley Road, Birmingham
A striking tower with an unusual plan. Four glazed, canted projections stem from the centre. It seems to foreshadow Postmodernism, just much cleaner and without all the clutter and gimmicky details. By the John Madin Design Group, 1972-74.
The owners have submitted a proposal to convert it into flats.
The area around Five Ways was earmarked for office blocks under John Madin's 1957 plan, commissioned by the landlord, the Calthorpe Estate, eager to boost its income. Most people will think it a strange thing to say of a collection of 1960s tower blocks, but the result is of an unusually high standard. It is relatively low density, landscaped, and possesses a good mix of towers, a number of which were designed by Madin's architecture practice. Away from the towers, the area retains a pleasant residential character and some of the good early C19th houses have survived.
