Helmont House, Office skyscraper in Cardiff, United Kingdom
The 12-story Helmont House rises 58 meters into the Cardiff skyline, featuring angular designs influenced by the Cubist art movement of the 20th century.
British Gas operated from Helmont House until 2009, employing 2,400 staff before relocating to Callaghan Square, leading to the building's acquisition by Rightacres for over £10 million.
The structure has appeared as a filming location in episodes of television series Doctor Who and Torchwood, adding to its recognition within Cardiff's media landscape.
Following renovations in 2009, the building now houses a 200-room Premier Inn hotel and 60,000 square feet of office space, including NewLaw Solicitors' 45,000-square-foot operation.
The building ranks as the 15th tallest in Cardiff and stands near the Cardiff International Arena, making it a central point for business and entertainment activities.
