”
A NEW LONDON LANDMARK Known locally as ‘the Nestlé building’, Highgrove Tower has a rich history and is an important local landmark. In the 1970s and 1980s the iconic Greyhound music venue on the ground floor hosted pioneering acts such as David Bowie, Queen and Talking Heads. The tower’s next iteration will see Highgrove Tower right in the heart of a new cultural quarter, offering premium apartments with a concierge, residents’ lounge, gym studio and roof gardens.*

HIGHGROVE TOWER AN OUTSTANDING OPPORTUNITY Highgrove Tower will be an addition to the South London skyline that embraces a bold and modern architectural style. As well as marking a new chapter in the building’s life, the renovation brings a unique opportunity to be a part of Phase One of Queen’s Square. To the exterior, the recessed proposed roof terraces* and balconies create an attractive and richly textured façade and provide delightful outdoor spaces with far-reaching views over the city. Inside, a selection of beautifully designed studio and one-to-three bedroom apartments offer exceptional levels of luxury, comfort and style. All combined for an ultra-convenient and enjoyable lifestyle. Add to this the excellent transport links, fantastic shopping facilities and cultural hotspot location and it’s easy to see why a home at Highgrove Tower adds up to such an exciting opportunity.

When our creative interior team started work on Queen’s Square they researched back to the Saxon era. They have taken the nature, archaeological and historic buildings in the surrounding area as inspiration to design the interiors. FRANK MCGOL DRI CK
Aedas Global Design Principal, London
”
The interior of each apartment at Queen’s Square has been designed to embrace modern luxury living, creating a comfortable home that has a relaxed yet refined contemporary feel. Floor-toceiling windows let in plenty of natural daylight, and open-plan living areas are cleverly designed to maximise space. Top-quality finishes are used throughout the apartments, from the engineered timber flooring in the hallways and living areas to the bespoke floor-and-wall-tiles in the bathrooms. 36

AN OASIS OF CALM The bedrooms at Queen’s Square are calm and tranquil spaces where you can retreat and relax after a long day, with a strong emphasis on quality and craftsmanship throughout. Everything from the finishes to the thick pile carpets has been carefully chosen to create an air of comfort and luxury, in a soft and soothing colour palette. Fitted wardrobes* maintain sleek uncluttered lines and offer ample storage space, and all bedrooms benefit from plenty of natural light from either full-height doubleglazed windows, or doors that lead out to a balcony or terrace.

A FRESH TAKE ON LUXURY Attention to detail extends throughout every aspect of design in the luxurious family and ensuite bathrooms at Queen’s Square, from layouts that maximise space to the finish of the fixtures and fittings. Sleek minimalist styling is combined with inspired accents of colour to create a fresh modern aesthetic, and feature tiles to the wall and floor add individual flair. Taps, towel rails and shower fittings are of the highest quality, as is the pristine white sanitaryware. All family bathrooms come fitted with either a shower-over-bath, or a bath and separate generously sized shower cubicle. 40
