PDF - Embassy Gardens
Embassy Gardens is London’s new diplomatic precinct on the riverside, the residential and commercial centrepiece of the Nine Elms Regeneration Area. With the relocation of multiple embassies to this area, one of the most ambitious urban rejuvenation plans in London’s history has come to a successful fruition. Embassy Gardens now takes its place as the prestigious, forward-looking neighbour to illustrious districts such as Westminster and Chelsea. A diplomatic population demands the highest standards. From the craftsmanship on display throughout these buildings to the level of design and engineering skill required to produce one-off amenities such as the Sky Pool, our vision for Embassy Gardens has been the result of years of careful planning to ensure we create something truly special. We are pleased to be, once again, at the heart of an important moment in London’s evolution.

Following an intensive programme of investment, masterplanning, design and careful execution, the Nine Elms area has found a new future as the diplomatic precinct of Europe’s most important city. At its heart is one address: Embassy Gardens. 4 A LONDON ADDRESS WITH INTERNATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE The planned relocation of the U.S embassy from Mayfair to Embassy Gardens marks a major shift in the centre of gravity for London’s diplomatic activity. The Dutch Embassy is also confirmed, with others expected to follow suit. A central riverside neighbourhood geared towards an international community, Embassy Gardens is proving to have magnetic appeal to many of London’s most prestigious residents. 5 6 GLOBAL PRESTIGE In a capital city like London, the presence of several major embassies in one neighbourhood gives it a place not only on the city map but on the world map. The rare opportunity of a new embassy precinct in London is attracting interest, and investment, from across the globe. 7 8 The Legacy Buildings with the show-stopping Sky Pool, are located amid the meticulously landscaped gardens that surround the new U.S Embassy. 9 10 2. THE GREATEST CITY ON EARTH Combining the glamour and economic clout of New York with the history and architectural beauty of a great European capital, London offers the best of all worlds. In this century, the capital has gone from strength to strength, becoming not just centre to the political and economic infrastructure of the UK but the pre-eminent meeting place for global leaders of all kinds, from high finance to high art. 12 E M BA SSY GA R DE NS 2 .

NINE ELMS: AN EXTRAORDINARY REGENERATION STORY The South Bank is the most exciting urban regeneration project that London has ever seen. Over thirty years, the area has been transformed into a new district combining the best of culture, retail and business in a formerly under-utilised swathe of the central London riverside. With the transformation of Nine Elms, the area linking Vauxhall and Battersea, that project is finally complete. 22 E M BA SSY GA R DE NS 3 .

These outstanding examples of urban residential design are set to become instantly-recognisable landmarks on the London cityscape. 52 E M BA SSY GA R DE NS The design of Embassy Gardens is inspired by the nineteeth century commercial buildings of Manhattan’s Meatpacking District, together with the highly detailed façades of central London’s palatial mansion buildings.

With a beautiful orangery and bar, a sky pool and magnificent views across London, no other city centre location offers a club experience of this calibre. 72 73 Ambitious Design Meets Pioneering Technology Using pioneering technology and working with one of the world’s leading glass engineers, the Sky Pool took early inspiration from the great aqueducts of Britain’s past but is an entirely modern spectacle, made possible only thanks to twenty-first century innovations in structural engineering. Employing acrylic to achieve a crystal clear transparency even when shaped with a considerable thickness, the pool borrows from the design and fabrication principles of deep water submersibles and large-scale aquaria, in which clarity and strength are paramount.
