Embassy Gardens is Londons new diplomatic precinct on the riverside, the residential and commercial centrepiece

of the Nine Elms Regeneration Area.

With the relocation of multiple embassies to this area, one of the most ambitious urban rejuvenation plans in Londons

history has come to a successful fruition. Embassy Gardens now takes its place as the prestigious, forward-looking neighbour

to illustrious districts such as Westminster and Chelsea.

A diplomatic population demands the highest standards. From the craftsmanship on display throughout these buildings to the level of design and engineering skill required to produce

one-off amenities such as the Sky Pool, our vision for Embassy Gardens has been the result of years of careful

planning to ensure we create something truly special.

We are pleased to be, once again, at the heart of an important moment in Londons evolution.

A LONDON ADDRESS WITH INTERNATIONAL

SIGNIFICANCEThe planned relocation of the U.S Embassy from Mayfair to Embassy

Gardens marks a major shift in the centre of gravity for Londons diplomatic activity. The Dutch Embassy is also confirmed, with others expected to follow suit. A central riverside neighbourhood geared towards an

international community, Embassy Gardens is proving to have magnetic appeal to many of Londons most prestigious residents.

GLOBAL PRESTIGE

In a capital city like London, the presence of several major embassies in one neighbourhood gives it a place not only

on the city map but on the world map. The rare opportunity of a new embassy precinct in London is attracting interest,

and investment, from across the globe.

The Legacy Buildings with the show-stopping Sky Pool, are located amid the meticulously landscaped gardens

that surround the new U.S Embassy.

3. NINE ELMS:

AN EXTRAORDINARY REGENERATION

STORY

The South Bank is the most exciting urban regeneration project that London has ever seen. Over thirty years, the area has been

transformed into a new district combining the best of culture, retail and business in a formerly under-utilised swathe of the central London

riverside. With the transformation of Nine Elms, the area linking Vauxhall and Battersea, that project is finally complete.

21

Londons Third City CentreDubbed Londons third city centre, The South Bank has seen a constant

stream of landmark cultural activities and development successes, evolving it into a world-class destination. The district of Nine Elms

is the last piece in the South Bank puzzle, transforming this previously industrial landscape into a hub of activity.

Sean Mulryan, Chairman and Group Chief Executive of the Ballymore Group, has worked closely with curator and art historian

Sir Norman Rosenthal to devise Embassy Gardens contribution to the constellation of art that defines the South Bank.

Inspired by the work of the Public Art Fund project in New York, they are working to ensure that Linear Park harnesses the great energy

of British art. A series of major new sculptures from leading British artists will offer a contemporary counterpoint to the statues and

monuments of Londons other green spaces.

The three imposing buildings comprising Phase Two of the development are designed by award-winning architects Arup Associates.

These outstanding examples of urban residential design are set to become instantly-recognisable landmarks on the London cityscape.

51

The design of Embassy Gardens is inspired by the nineteeth century commercial buildings of Manhattans Meatpacking District,

together with the highly detailed faades of central Londons palatial mansion buildings.

The Legacy Buildings are formed from a series of defined blocks, each varying in articulation yet part of a harmonious whole.

Ambitious Design Meets Pioneering Technology

Using pioneering technology and working with one of the worlds leading glass engineers, the Sky Pool took early inspiration from

the great aqueducts of Britains past but is an entirely modern spectacle, made possible only thanks to twenty-first century innovations

in structural engineering.

Employing acrylic to achieve a crystal clear transparency even when shaped with a considerable thickness, the pool borrows from the design

and fabrication principles of deep water submersibles and large-scale aquaria, in which clarity and strength are paramount.
