Marco Polo House, Architectural structure in Battersea, England.
Marco Polo House stands at 346 Queenstown Road with glass-ceramic cladding, facing Battersea Park along the River Thames in South London.
Peter Argyrou Associates completed this office building in 1989, initially serving as headquarters for British Satellite Broadcasting until their merger with Sky.
The building's design by Ian Pollard represented the postmodernist movement of the 1980s through its marble-effect exterior and geometric shapes.
The structure maintained commercial functions until 2012, when QVC television studios relocated to Chiswick Business Park, leading to its demolition in 2014.
The exterior featured Neoparium, a specialized Japanese glass-ceramic material selected for its resistance to extreme weather conditions.
