Osborne Stable Block, Grade II* listed stable block in East Cowes, England.
The quadrangular stable complex features a central two-story entrance pavilion with an arched entrance and eight-bay wings on both sides.
Prince Albert designed this stable block in 1859 to expand the facilities of Osborne House, which had outgrown its former equestrian space.
Thomas Cubitt, who constructed the main facade of Buckingham Palace, built this rendered brick structure with slate roofing using Victorian architectural principles.
The stable block underwent restoration by Anderson Orr Architects, transforming the interior into interconnected rooms with natural light and modern amenities.
During World War II, the building served as headquarters for Saunders Roe Ltd, which later developed Britain's sole successful space vehicle.
