UK - London - Wood Wharf - One Park Drive 07_sq_DSC2411

Hope no-ones bored of these shots of the Herzog & de Meuron One Park Drive building. There's a few more of them to come........ I'll also have to revisit and take them all again once the temporary protection to the glass has been removed...

From the 'Wallpaper' website : "Heading this development is One Park Drive, designed by Swiss architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron. The firm’s first residential tower in London, One Park Drive is intended to be a standard bearer for domestic architecture across the city.

The project humanises the questions of material and aesthetic that mark Herzog & de Meuron’s finest works, including the totemic Tate Modern Switch House on London’s Bankside, New York’s 56 Leonard Street and the imposing Bird’s Nest stadium in Beijing. How, they ask, should we live in tall buildings? The answer? ‘As humanly as possible.’

It’s appropriate then that this cylindrical, 58-storey structure, located at the entrance to the dock, eschews overwrought styling in favour of holistic purpose. The tower has three distinct zones: the lower Loft; middle Cluster; and upper Bay. The Loft apartments, with high ceilings and wraparound terraces, are some of the largest in One Park Drive, affording a close engagement with the waterfront and surrounding green spaces. The Cluster apartments, with their geometric facades, comprise the heart of the building. Finally, the Bay apartments, in the upper reaches of the tower, feature double-height terraces set back into the building, and are designed to both maximise interior light and afford near-panoramic views across the capital."
