From the Wikipedia article
St Lawrence House is a 12-storey residential tower on Broad Street in central Bristol, England. Designed by Alec French & Partners and completed in 1967, it was one of the first post-war office blocks permitted directly on the line of the medieval city wall. The building was refurbished several times before being converted into purpose-built student accommodation in 2015.

Background
Architecture
St Lawrence House is a tower of reinforced-concrete frame construction faced in grey concrete panels. Although slightly set back behind a shallow forecourt, its height and bulk nonetheless are visible around the neighbouring medieval gateway church, a relationship contemporary critics described as "drab" and "dreary".
