Belvedere Gardens is a new riverside development with views across the Thames, The Houses of Parliament, Whitehall and the London Eye
Belvedere Gardens, developed by Canary Wharf Group and Qatari Diar, is the third building at Southbank Place to be launched and offers the most premium apartments to date with unique views across London. Facing Jubilee Gardens and at the heart of London’s South Bank, striking images reveal dual aspect homes offering river views of London’s most recognisable landmarks, including the Houses of Parliament, Whitehall and the London Eye.
Set in the prime position of the 5.25 acre Shell Centre development, Belvedere Gardens will offer panoramic views of the River Thames and across central London. With refined interiors exclusively designed by Goddard Littlefair and sophisticated architecture by GRID Architects, the 97 apartments are split over 20 levels, comprising, 23 one-bedrooms, 58 two-bedrooms, 13 three-bedroom and one three-bedroom duplex, plus two penthouses, arranged across the 10 and 20 storey buildings.
Southbank Place sits on the former home of The Festival of Britain, from which the design of Belvedere Gardens has been heavily influenced to celebrate the area’s heritage and culture. The visually striking exterior is inspired by the Festival of Britain emblem, the Festival Star, embossed and debossed across the façade, with the bronze colour, echoing the nearby Palace of Westminster. This small and detailed texture can also be seen in the perforated aluminium panels on the sides of the building and shading the terraces, playing with the sunlight to offer a veil-like curtain for privacy whilst maximising light into the homes.
Residents will have access to a private residents’ lounge, leading to an opulent outdoor terrace, providing an intimate space for social gatherings and business meetings, as well as space for residents to entertain and relax. These homes will have access to a dedicated health and fitness facility, exclusively designed by Goddard Littlefair and in addition to the health club already available to all Southbank Place residents.
Martin Goddard, Co-Founder and Director of Goddard Littlefair, said: “We have developed sophisticated interiors, designed to leave a lasting impression and enhance the rare character and setting of these apartments. The spaces have been carefully considered to make the most of the open aspect, the natural light and the superb river views. The rich mix of materials and textures complement and harmonise with the architectural concept and link to the mid-century design of the surrounding area.”
Craig Casci, the founding partner of GRID Architects, said: “We have worked carefully to ensure that the unique design of this building becomes a landmark in its own right; the visually striking exterior complemented by incomparable views from within. The apartments are arranged across the 10 and 20 storey elements of the building, providing 1, 2 and 3 bedroom residences culminating in spectacular penthouses at the very top levels.”
From Thursday 29th September 2016, potential buyers have the opportunity to view show apartments including fixtures, fabrics and design layouts in the development’s prestigious marketing suite in the Grade II listed County Hall building. This will be the third phase of the Southbank Place development to launch, following the successful sales for 1 Casson Square in September 2015 and 30 Casson Square in March 2016.
