Sir Giles Gilbert Scott
–
Gilbert House was built in 1933 by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, architect and designer
of the red telephone box. His characteristic style was a blend of Gothic tradition
and modernism lending a sense of grandeur to the functionality of notable buildings
like Battersea Power Station and Liverpool Cathedral.
Gilbert Scott was knighted by King George V and appointed
a Member of the Order of Merit (OM) by King George VI.

Taking its cues from the Art Deco period in which it was built, the interior of Gilbert House feels akin to a private members’ club, but with a modern edge. Exposed original brickwork is softened by brushed brass light fittings, pastel hues and parquet flooring. Originally used as a bank, Gilbert Scott left his stamp on the design with windows that resemble the panes of his iconic red telephone box.
Period features marry with modernity to create a space with character.

Corn Street is in the heart of the historic city centre of Bristol, an area which has seen strong regeneration and is filled with restaurants, pubs, secret bars and independent coffee shops. St Nicholas Market is around the corner, home to street food and a farmers’ market, while the harbourside is a short stroll away for arts and culture. At the end of the street are metrobus stops and Temple Meads Station is a 12-minute walk.
The area is already very popular with a wide range of existing office occupiers in particular in the media, creative, technology, professional and financial services sectors. Major nearby occupiers include Immediate Media, Graphcore, Lloyds Banking Group and Abide Financial.
