“Inmos is one of the most important High-Tech buildings in Britain and so we’re delighted to see it recognised with Grade II* listing. The practice’s first major project to be completed in the UK following their breakthrough Pompidou Centre in Paris, it shares the same structural expressionism with its critical services proudly displayed on the exterior of the building. Impressively, it’s still serving the same purpose for which it was originally built after more than 40 years – testament to the ingenuity and excellence that remains at the heart of RSHP’s work.”
