Description |
|
The
apartment complex known as Chelsea
Bridge Wharf sits on the south side of
the Thames beside Chelsea Bridge.
It occupies a plot of land between the
river and Sopwith Way, Queenstown Road
and the railway. To the east lies
Battersea Power Station and to the west
Battersea Park. The site has been
used, over the years, for a variety of
purposes. The 1891 map shows a
railway siding running across it to a
number of buildings near the river edge.
Today it is home to this development designed by Scott Brownrigg Architects. It is actually made up of seven apartment blocks arranged around a central landscaped garden and piazza. The buildings are named: Eustace Building; Oswald Building; Centurion Building; Howard Building; Warwick Building; Horace Building; and Lanson Building. Scott Brownrigg's website says of the development that, "Chelsea Bridge Wharf has gained excellent feedback from its residents and has already won many awards, including a CABE Building for Life Standard. The development continues to set standards of excellence within the industry." |
