Illustration by Andrew Cadey

The former British Rail maintenance depot for road vehicles. Designed in 1968 by Paul Hamilton, who had to fit it into a site constrained by the elevated Westway, the Harrow Road and the railways in Paddington Station.

The nickname of Battleship Building comes from its shape which, it has been said, looks like it has "reared like a battleship over the turbulence of the motorway."

Grade II listed in 1994 it was sensitively converted into offices in 2000 by architects AHMM

Limited first edition print run of 20
