Portland House, Skyscraper in Westminster, London, GB
Portland House rises 101 meters with 29 floors, featuring an octagonal cross-section design and a glass facade near Victoria Station.
The structure, completed in 1974 on the former Watney's Brewery site, drew inspiration from Milan's Pirelli Tower design by Gio Ponti.
The building represents the evolution of London's commercial architecture, reflecting the city's growth through its modern construction methods.
The building contains two separate elevator systems, with one serving floors 1-15 and another operating from floor 15 to the top level.
Portland House shares architectural similarities with New York's MetLife Building, as both structures underwent construction during the same period.
