After road-testing more than a hundred construction
concepts, KPF ultimately settled on the now-familiar
prismesque silhouette. This, they believed, would optimise the
outlook for each of the tower’s tenants, while ensuring as much
natural light as possible filtered into every spacious apartment.
In accordance with the over-archingly modern design
ethic, the interiors of each high-mounted living space have
been designed to be warm, welcoming and bright, while giving a
knowing nod in the direction of the area’s industrial heritage. In
“The new luxury-housing complex
is only a few minutes away from
Liverpool Street Station”
line with this, its oak herringbone floors are a fetching homage
to the many Georgian terraces that line the nearby streets.
The building’s forefronting of natural light, meanwhile,
reaches its apotheosis in the sundry kitchen spaces, the true
focal point of each residence. This sees glass-fronted cabinets
diffuse the outside light throughout the interior, while the finely-
engineered stonework within adds notes of inherent orderliness.
Elegantly-fashioned sliding glass doors, meanwhile, act as
bespoke barriers between the kitchen and dining spaces, giving
owners the option of dividing or uniting their personal territory
as they see fit. As befits such an alluring outlook, floor-to-
ceiling windows ensure sweeping views of the city below.
Warm hues then trail into the bathroom proper, which is
spa-like in its majesty, complete with heated towel rails and
gleaming porcelain floor tiles. All of this, though, is but an
entrée for the stunning undermounted bathtub – truly a space
to preen as you clean.
