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.

A riverside area in the centre of London has undergone a remarkable
transformation. 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.

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.

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.

The Legacy Buildings with the show-stopping Sky Pool,
are located amid the meticulously landscaped gardens
that surround the new U.S Embassy.

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.

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.

London’s Third City Centre
Dubbed ‘London’s third city centre’, The South Bank has seen a constant
stream of landmark cultural activities and development successes,
evolving it into a world-class destination. The district of Nine Elms
is the last piece in the South Bank puzzle, transforming this previously
industrial landscape into a hub of activity.

Linear Park offers an experience unlike any other park in the world,
choreographing nature, play and art in groundbreaking ways.
There is a picturesque central pond with a plank-decked bridge,
while sunken lawns provide opportunities for sports and communal
events. A wealth of tree varieties are thoughtfully planted with the longterm evolution of the park in mind. A trail of significant contemporary
artworks confirms this legacy.
A lush kilometre of open green space, Linear Park offers a peaceful
and beautiful way to walk through the area.

Sir Norman Rosenthal to devise Embassy Garden’s contribution
to the constellation of art that defines the South Bank.

Inspired by the work of the Public Art Fund project in New York,
they are working to ensure that Linear Park harnesses the great energy
of British art. A series of major new sculptures from leading British
artists will offer a contemporary counterpoint to the statues and
monuments of London’s other green spaces.

LEGACY BUILDINGS
The three imposing buildings comprising Phase Two of the development
are designed by award winning architects Arup Associates.
These outstanding examples of urban residential design are set to
become instantly-recognisable landmarks on the London cityscape.

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.
The Legacy Buildings are formed from a series of defined blocks,
each varying in articulation yet part of a harmonious whole.

The green glazed buildings seem

The courtyard is connected with Linear Park by gentle paths rather
than steps, facilitating a natural, seamless movement through the space.
Within the apartments themselves, spacious balconies affording
impressive views, and an abundance of natural light, complete the
connection between architecture and nature, building and landscape.

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.
