Standing tall and proud against the backdrop of a clear blue sky, this 18-storey tower block is a testament to post-war modern design. Designed by the brilliant minds of Philip Dowson and Derek Sugden from Arup Associates between 1961 and 1964, Point Royal exudes an air of sophistication with its sleek concrete structure. Its unique circular shape adds an element of intrigue to this residential masterpiece.
