Export House

[5] Telewest had rented the top six floors for about a year before they moved permanently to Export House.

[7] The block has set a precedent for iconic, complimentary buildings being open to consideration under the existing Woking Borough Local Plan, adopted in 1999.

[11] Export House is of modular design, chamfered on the narrow west façade/parapet and lightly storey-grooved.

Export House has no explicit or implicit reference to compulsory or encouraged complete demolition in the mid-term local plan.

[8] From 2000 to 2007 the structure bore an air pollution-stained upper exterior so appeared more brutalist than old and new buildings of the town centre.

The 1950s to 1980s saw commercial office mid-cost construction sceptical of fancy classical architecture while remaining polite, incorporating subtle asymmetry such as with stylised ends, roofs or windows in a maximal façade: as in London's Guy's Hospital and the Royal Festival Hall.

Export House has a staircase and four lifts adjacent to the main entrance in the western facade.

Occupying part of a commercial block of the entirely commercial-leisure town centre it is classed as on Cawsey Way.
