Merchant Square is part of an extensive
development of offices, retail units and
residential blocks grouped around the
Paddington Basin of the Grand Union
Canal. Its website claims that it
offers, "... A commanding presence on
the Grand Union Canal anchoring this
important corner on the new Garden
Square.” Adding that the
building is , "... An elegant and
confident 21 storey canal-side
residential building, providing 201
apartments of varying sizes and tenure
.... The richly articulated façade
combines impressive double height bays
of stone with finely detailed layers of
bronze cladding and glazing to provide
visual interest and a human scale.
Interiors have been designed to meet the
client’s aspirations to combine
thoughtful design with immaculate
detailing of quality materials." The architects say
that, "... The use of recessed
external balconies, ‘Juliette’
balconies and winter gardens further
enhance this residential character,
reinforcing the integrity of the
building as a whole."
