CGI of One Tower Bridge One Tower Bridge sits on the South Bank of the River Thames, in one of the most privileged positions in London.


Overview

A unique location The clearest sign of how special this location is comes with the address: One Tower Bridge. This is a unique location neighbouring London’s most famous landmark. A place where the past, present and future of this great city meet. A new landmark One Tower Bridge occupies a prime position on London’s South Bank, between three of the city’s most important icons: Tower Bridge, the River Thames and the Tower of London. It is an exceptional new development of contemporary residences, thoughtfully designed and luxuriously appointed throughout. It marks the next stage in the development of one of London’s most exciting and desirable districts, between the signature brickwork and distinctive heritage of Shad Thames, and the sharp, clean, ultra-modern lines of More London. Within walking distance of the City’s financial heart, close to Canary Wharf, next to a string of world-class cultural attractions and enjoying first-rate transport connections, One Tower Bridge justifies the description ‘extraordinary’. This is a London address like no other.

Panoramic view of London London is a truly global city, with strengths in the arts, commerce, education, entertainment and fashion, all contributing to its prominence.

Wessex House

The building Wessex House balances an elegant and understated feel with the same dynamic spirit that characterises recent arrivals to the South Bank such as More London. Clear-minded, clean, modern The light-coloured material, with glass and metalframed glazing, naturally draws the eye along its façade, creating a natural foil to neighbouring Cambridge and Hanover Houses. The singular element of the external design is the continuous white ‘ribbon’ that elegantly wraps around each storey – irregular bands rising and falling in height depending on what lies behind. The band allows light to flood into living spaces, and maximises views, but is higher where more privacy and intimacy are required, such as bedrooms. Wessex House is one of four buildings in the heart of the One Tower Bridge development. Its ten generously proportioned storeys are perfectly placed between the shops and cafés of a charming pedestrian street and the central cultural space, well away from any traffic.

Interior design The interiors have been planned by Darling Associates. Established in 2003, the firm has completed some of the most prestigious and exclusive developments in London, based on a belief in elegance of design, accuracy of detail, and the inherent beauty of natural materials. Contemporary opulence From the moment you enter the lobby, the keynote is one of luxurious and understated elegance. The palette of materials is sourced from around Europe, with classic Italian and French stones and timbers complemented by understated lighting and bronze detailing. Each living space combines strong, dark tones with fresh, light classic accents. Intelligent planning opens out the views and lets the daylight flood in. Kitchen and dining areas The Italian-styled minimalist kitchen features the finest selection of materials, including an opulent stone finished worktop and splashback. Neutral colour choices are enhanced by integral mood and task lighting, while the whole space sits elegantly within the open-plan living area, providing a complementary backdrop to the dining experience. Miele appliances are seamlessly included throughout.
