The 14 new additions which were built between 1964 to 1984 are located in
major cities across England and recognise the work of modern architects like
Norman Foster, Richard Seifert and Peter Foggo.

Roger Bowdler, Director of Designation at English Heritage, said: “These
offices show how architecture has adapted to recent radical changes in how
we work: they show how the open-plan working space for computer-led work
came about, and how architects responded to the need for lettable,
attractive spaces with ingenuity and a deep understanding of human needs.

“These are all remarkable designs, capable of years of commercially vibrant
use. The project has been notable for its extensive research, and for close
dialogue with owners.”

The new additions to the National Heritage List for England include four
buildings by Arup Associates, 1 Finsbury Avenue in London, Gateway
House in Basingstoke, Central Electricity Generating Board in Bristol, Gun
Wharf in Chatham), two by Richard Seifert Partners (Space House,
