Combining modern architecture with innovative landscaping, Wardian London sets a new standard for the high-rise living experience, put simply, a tranquil haven of nature in the heart of London's new financial centre.
Description
Designed in collaboration with Glenn Howells Architects, Wardian is instantly recognisable by their generous wrap-around balconies and slender profiles. It was inspired by the great explorer Dr Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward, who was responsible for the creation of the Wardian Case, used to transport plants around the world at the height of the British Empire. International plant experts have sourced more than a hundred different species of exotic plants and flowers from across the world and these plants are used throughout the development and will change with the seasons, evoking the botanic palm houses at Kew and creating a tranquil oasis that brings the outside in. The two towers sit above a podium, housing a grand lobby, communal facilities, retail, cinema room and a waterfront café and every resident will become a member of The Wardian Club, allowing access to exclusive facilities including a 25m open air swimming pool and a double height rooftop sky garden.
