'Model for a Hotel' was a reproduction or scaled up architectural model of a 21–storey building. The base was the same size as the plinth, but the angles of the hotel extended out at strange angles and different heights. That meant that from each side, a different shape and a different context or background was revealed. The work was made in specially engineered red, yellow, and blue Perspex. At the time, it was the first sculpture on the plinth to use bold colour in stark contrast to its surroundings.
