Unilever House, Art Deco office building in City of London, United Kingdom
The structure exhibits a curved facade with sixteen unfluted Ionic columns forming a colonnade between the fourth and sixth floors of the building.
Built between 1930 and 1932, the building replaced the former Bridewell Palace site, which had served as both a royal residence and later a prison.
The exterior sculptures by Sir William Reid Dick and Gilbert Ledward represent figures controlling horses, reflecting the architectural artistry of the 1930s.
Located at 100 Victoria Embankment, the building contains 385,500 square feet of office space and maintains a Grade II listed status for preservation.
The 2008 renovation by KPF incorporated a central atrium with suspended bridges while preserving the original parquet flooring and art deco elements.
