Falcon Wharf is a What House? Winner
26 November 2006
Falcon Wharf, George Wimpey City’s exciting new development in Battersea, has scooped a prestigious accolade at this year’s What House Awards.
The iconic scheme, which has become a new landmark development, was awarded the coveted Bronze Award for Best Apartment at a glittering ceremony held at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London on 17th November.
Sales and Marketing director, Emma Freeman, received the award from television personality Jimmy Carr and England Rugby Ace and celebrity X-Factor runner-up Matt Stevens:
“I am absolutely delighted that such a striking and prominent contribution to London’s landscape has been recognised at the What House? Awards,” she commented. “The show apartment at Falcon Wharf has it all; stylish design, outstanding living space and affords fantastic views across Battersea.”
The contemporary-style one-bedroom apartment at Falcon Wharf caught the judges’ attention for its originality, curved layout and internal design. One particular feature which caught the judges attention was the arrangement of the apartments around the large circular galleried atrium.
Designed to maximise all available natural light and space through clever use of floor-to-ceiling glazing and with one or two surprise elements that ensured it made a strong impression, the fifth floor apartment offered far reaching river views from its impressive curtain-wall glazing. Another advantage was its ‘winter garden’ – a suspended balcony which capitalised upon views over the area.
The striking, 17-storey development is one of the tallest riverside residential towers in Wandsworth, its unique boomerang shape of Falcon Wharf, designed by renowned architect James Burland, features four curved towers facing North, East, South and West. The towers of curvilinear glass, steel and timber will provide residents with sweeping views over the river, the City of London and Canary Wharf.
Prices currently start at £360,000 for a one-bedroom apartment. For further information, visit falconwharf.co.uk.
