Offices, Sprowston Hidden away on an industrial estate is a novel-looking office block built for British Gas "utilizing the German Burolandschaft concept, whereby the first floor is open-plan while the ground floor has areas divided by low partitions." Built in 1970-71 to the designs of the Design Group for Industry. Now known as Sapphire House. It's not clear to what extent the internal layout has survived.
