Walton Court, Grade II listed building in Elmbridge, England
Walton Court is a former corporate headquarters in Elmbridge designed by renowned architects in the 1960s with clean geometric forms and integrated landscaping. The structure demonstrates the period's confidence in open office layouts and the connection between building and surroundings.
The building was constructed in the 1960s as London-based companies relocated to southeastern suburbs seeking modern work environments. The architecture of that era reflects postwar optimism and confidence in innovative office concepts.
The name reflects its origins as a corporate workplace in the suburban landscape. Today visitors can observe how the modernist design has been adapted into residential spaces while maintaining visual connections to its earlier purpose.
The site was converted to residential apartments after 2017 while maintaining much of the outer form and keeping green spaces accessible. Visitors can explore the exterior areas and observe how the old and new uses relate to each other.
The site contained original stone features from previous use that were carefully preserved and incorporated into the new residential development. A sculpture was also created featuring symbols connected to the site's past.
