This waterside residential building has recently been completed. The building incorporates small flats for weekday use as well as luxury apartments and penthouses. Complex planning, rights to light and St Paul's Heights issues were addressed in the course of the design. Construction cost is around £12m.
The scheme is one of the first to exploit the potential of glazed terracotta rainscreen, providing a spectacular new façade to the retained slabs and frame of the original riverside office block.
