Ideal House, Art Deco office building in Westminster, London, England

The seven-story structure presents black granite facades with Egyptian-influenced inlaid champlevé patterns on the corner of Great Marlborough Street and Argyll Street.

Raymond Hood and Gordon Jeeves designed this Grade II listed building in 1929 as the London headquarters for the National Radiator Company.

The architectural design follows the model of the American Radiator Building in New York City, reflecting the transatlantic influence on London's commercial structures.

The building maintains its original commercial function with multiple floors of office space, demonstrating the durability of Art Deco construction methods.

The black granite exterior contrasts with golden decorative elements, creating a distinct visual presence among London's architectural landscape.
