The Tower, One St George Wharf stands at 181 metres tall, which at the time of its completion was the tallest residential tower in London. Based on the ‘shape of a Catherine wheel’ the graceful cylindrical form occupies a prominent bend on the River Thames which charms its residents with breathtakingly beautiful views across the Capital. CIE were appointed to add to the aesthetic through the incorporation of beautifully designed and highly engineered bulthaup kitchens, handcrafted to suit the organic structure provided by the buildings core.

Wood communicates well-being and warmth, and the use of bulthaup‘s b3 veneer was central to the design philosophy at The Tower. CIE’s skilled team designed and installed a central tall unit feature monolith encapsulated with custom made lightwells to accentuate the natural beauty of the veneer. The natural curve of the apartment footprint allowed the creation of a kitchen peninsula, providing a centerpoint for communication. This central hub becomes the epicentre of shared experience through cooking and enjoyment, with the backdrop of the magnificent London skyline providing the canvas to the living quarters.

The building’s simple and elegant circular form and floor to ceiling glazing provide staggering 360° views across London. The unique floor plan is based on the shape of a ratchet and is typically divided into five apartments per floor with separating walls radiating out from the central core.
