A building with history
Research House was built during the inter-war period as commerce and industry spread out into the expanding suburbs of London's Metroland. In keeping with the nearby Hoover Building it was designed in the fashionable Art Deco style, creating a professional yet relaxing working environment. It was originally occupied by the Tin Research Council, a research and development division funded by the major tin producing countries, pooling their resources in order to spearhead the latest technological advances for their product. |
In 1946 the original Fraser Road frontage and two sides were in-filled to provide additional accommodation with a central core and 3 storey areas. During the 1980's the Tin Research Council found new premises with Brunel University and the building was offered for sale. In 1986 property developer David Poole purchased the building and commenced conversion work involving the removal of laboratory benches and equipment and the initial partitioning into 25 office suites. Changing demands for office space have resulted in further alterations. There are now 85 upgraded suites, each fully cabled for the latest technology. In keeping with its heritage, Research House has been sympathetically restored to its former Art Deco glory, with period lighting, door furniture and other fittings, complemented by a series of specially commissioned pictures lining the corridors, enhancing the building's 1930's character. David Poole remained the owner and landlord of Research House until his untimely death from cancer in January this year. |
