The development's architecture is anything but ordinary; it piques the curiosity of all who see it. Part of the architects’ vision is that the building’s façade should appear alive and responsive to passers-by; it will shift and change constantly as the people who live within it adjust their view.

Most of its 145 residences have generous private balconies or terraces with views across the capital. Full height triple-glazing emphasises this panoramic living alongside folding, perforated screens peppered across the façade for privacy and protection from the sun.

Amenities

The development lobby displays extraordinary attention to detail in its integration of the building’s industrial heritage with contemporary design and style. A 24-hour concierge team operates from a bespoke desk made in natural stone, while polished concrete floors with brass inlay, a sweeping spiral staircase and feature light sculpture introduce guests to the drama of the interior.

Apartments benefit from a stunning canalside location, breathtaking communal roof gardens, and an array of amenities elegantly furnished and dressed. Amenities include spa and gym, residents' lounge and a sophisticated entertainment suite including private dining room and catering kitchen, a 14-person screening room, with an adjacent elegant games room, for use before or after the show.

Lifestyle

It is an amazing world. A place brimming with international flavours; of shops and bustling squares; of concerts and community; a place to potter, a place to enjoy. A place connected by canal, of galleries and gardens, of homes and families — a place to live, a place to love.

Location

With its canalside location, the development feels like a sanctuary of calm in the urban environment, yet it’s also the best-connected development in London.

Its central position offers residents quick access to international, national and local transport links. Travelling within the city, the UK, Europe or further afield is as simple as walking out of your front door. Eurostar connections place mainland Europe just under two hours from St Pancras International. The newly restored, Grade I listed King’s Cross station is pivotal for train travel throughout the UK, with other key transport hubs — Euston, Paddington, Victoria and Waterloo — only 15 minutes away or less. The development is perfectly positioned for London’s important cultural, business and shopping destinations including Bloomsbury, the City, Bond Street and Canary Wharf.
