The replacement material (béton brut) influenced the Brutalist movement, and the building inspired several housing complexes including the Alton West estate in Roehampton, London, and Park Hill in Sheffield. These buildings have attracted a great deal of criticism. Other, more successful, manifestations of the Unité include Chamberlin, Powell and Bon's Barbican Estate (completed 1982), Gordon Tait's Samuda Estate, Isle of Dogs (1965), Ern? Goldfinger's Balfron Tower (1967), and Trellick Tower (1972), all in London. Another valuable complex strongly inspired with the idea was Za ?elazn? Bram? Housing Estate in Warsaw, Poland.
