www.Emporis.com ('the world's building website) credit the building to Hubbard, Ford and Partners and classify it as Brutalist.

Hubbard, Ford and Partners also built Cale Cross House, near Gateshead.

'The building was designed futuristically, with state-of-the-art concrete and white plastic cladding surrounding a huge building of 57,000 square metres. ' (BT founded 'ConnectedEarth.com')

'Watermark Place is the new 10 floor office and retail development designed by Fletcher Priest Architects for banking giant, UBS. The site is currently occupied by the infamous Mondial House, a 70s building shaped almost like a computer that was planned to have been the biggest switching house in Europe.' (SkyscraperNews.com)
