One Kemble Street, off Kingsway, (1964-68)

Description:
Even to the most architecturally illiterate, One Kemble Street is clearly from the same stable as Centre Point. In fact, it looks like the earlier building has undergone vegetative propagation, and budded of a mini-me, plumper, shorter version of itself. The drum-like structure, perhaps appropriately, perhaps ironically, houses CABE (Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment). The zig-zag patterns can additionally be found on the St Martins Lane Hotel, also by Seifert.
