Signature Hi Rise residential development on a compact site in Canary Wharf, providing over 600 homes with additional commercial and social amenities at street level.
The residential floorplans are articulated to create 8 corner apartments per floor, increasing sales value and generating the highly articulated building form. At roof level protected sky gardens give residents panoramic views over London. At street the street level the development encloses the DLR, allowing the building to front onto Marsh Wall directly and unifying the site into a coherent whole.
Wrapped in a unitised bronze framed glazed skin, the development benefits from Passive House design principles, comprising MVHR units to provide heating, cooling and hot water to each unit. This greatly reduces running costs and minimises plant room requirements and riser sizes, improving floors plate efficiency.
