Richmond House, Government building in Whitehall, City of Westminster, England
Richmond House features a combination of modern architecture and traditional elements, incorporating Richmond Terrace into its structural design at Whitehall's southern end.
The current Richmond House, completed in 1987, stands on the site of a former townhouse that belonged to the Duke of Richmond in the 1660s.
The Grade II* listed structure represents significant architectural value, designed by William Whitfield with careful attention to natural light and workspace efficiency.
Richmond House serves as headquarters for government operations, with offices arranged to maximize window access and natural ventilation for employee comfort.
The building was selected to host the temporary House of Commons chamber during the extensive renovation works of the Palace of Westminster.
