Location: London, United Kingdom.

Architect: Squire & Partners.

One Tower Bridge is a mixed-use development located in London, designed to blend contemporary architecture with the warehouse vernacular of Shad Thames. The development includes hotel and residential accommodation, cultural, leisure, restaurant and retail spaces, as well as landscaped public spaces and pedestrian connections linking Tower Bridge with Tooley Street. The development is anchored by Cambridge House, a low horizontal building clad in Catalan Gris limestone, which houses the Bridge Theatre and The Ivy restaurant. The Tower, a 20-storey slender ‘campanile’ offering one apartment per floor, is set within a central landscaped courtyard and topped by a glazed garden terrace. Three apartment blocks with projecting stone balconies are positioned between landscaped gardens, while two further buildings step down in scale towards Tower Bridge Road, constructed from London stock brick to relate to the adjacent Shad Thames. The development also includes public retail units, a new pedestrian route called Duchess Walk, and a spa and gymnasium.
