Won in international design competition, the over-riding brief was to deliver the maximum number of units with a Thames view, to ensure the highest values were achieved. Our winning Three Quays design utilised a horse-shoe shaped plan that maximised use of the site perimeter and provided the majority of units/rooms with a river view.
The sensitive nature of the location and context demanded close consultation with numerous influential groups including DC CABE; English Heritage and Royal Historic Palaces.
The whole building is clad in unitised curtain walling and provides 61 residential units, 97 serviced apartments and 930m² of retail.
The Conde Nast judges commented “We love the incredible locations next to the historic Tower of London and the cutting edge design of this building.”
“We’re extremely impressed with the innovative work behind Cheval Three Quays by 3DReid.”
