Renewal and revival of celebrated 1970s modernist offices and gardens unveiled at Plant Basingstoke. The retrofit and regeneration of Plant, Basingstoke, formerly known as Mountbatten House and considered one of the 15 most important listed modern buildings in Britain, has been completed. The building was originally designed in 1973 by Peter Foggo and Arup Associates Group 2 with pre-eminent garden designer, James Russell, for paper manufacturers Wiggins Teape. First christened Gateway House, the vast stepped complex comprises six levels of commercial workspace blanketed in tiered roof gardens and terraces. The gardens and buildings were both separately listed by English Heritage in 2015 for their design excellence and significance within British modernist architecture and horticulture. The plant marks a major regional asset for economic development in Hampshire, offering over 19,515 square meters of category A and B multi-let office and amenity space.
