EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Point Royal DP137909, a remarkable architectural gem nestled in the heart of Rectory Lane, Easthampstead, Bracknell, Berkshire. 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. One cannot help but be drawn to the partly underground parking garage that lies beneath this magnificent tower block. A true marvel in engineering, it showcases how functionality can seamlessly blend with aesthetics. Listed as Grade II by Historic England (List Entry Number: 1390361), Point Royal stands as a symbol of architectural excellence. It has become an iconic landmark within the community and continues to captivate all who lay eyes upon it. James O. Davies skillfully captured every detail in this print - from the clean lines and sharp edges to the play between light and shadow. His artistic vision brings out the beauty in this towering structure while preserving its historical significance for generations to come.
