Commissioned by Harry Hyams and designed by Richard Seifert, the 34-storey Centre Point became a wayfinding tool and beacon on the London skyline in 1966. The modernist design was praised and subsequently protected by English Heritage, cementing its landmark status and architectural importance. An ambitious revival project initiated by Almacantar began in 2015, which calls for a complete conversion of the building's office space into 82 contemporary residences.
