Description
Montevetro is a residential development at Battersea Reach on the south bank of the Thames.  It comprises five connected blocks that step down from twenty-storeys at the river end to four-storeys at the Battersea Church Road end.  Each block is connected to its neighbour by a stair and lift tower. 

The architect's website explains that, "The western façade of the development is heavily glazed, providing magnificent views over the river, Chelsea and, from upper floors, much of west London. The 103 apartments which range in size from 1,000 to 2,500 sq.ft. are all provided with generous balconies overlooking the river. The east façade, animated by the lift towers, has a more solid aesthetic with panels of terracotta cladding."
