Brunel Building

I have been visiting the UK for over a decade and with the Heathrow Express connection I frequently stay around Paddington.

During our recent visit I came across a new additional to the Paddington Basin – the Brunel Building.

The Brunel Building takes both its name and its inspiration from the renowned and influential Victorian civil engineer, Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Surrounded by his rich industrial engineering legacy, including Paddington Station, the building is a flamboyant expression of engineering, with its exposed structure and services.

It truly is a stunning addition to the skyline and the exposed steel skeleton is detailed very carefully creating a great reference to the works on Brunel a century before.
