Brought to market by Knightcrest, the Park Hyatt London River Thames Residences collection comprises 103 ready-to-move-in homes, with the unveiling of two exceptional residences by South African designer Christian Bense offering a considered interpretation of cosmopolitan living. Further show apartments by a curated selection of designers will be showcased over the next six months.
Rising above London’s first Park Hyatt hotel on the River Thames in Nine Elms, the private residences occupy a prominent position within one of London’s most dynamic new residential quarters, with a striking presence on the skyline. The transition from city to home begins at ground level, where a private entrance and lobby is designed to create a calm, discreet arrival away from the energy of the hotel. From here, a private lift carries residents to an exclusive Residents’ Lounge on Level 19, before continuing upwards to the residences and a selection of penthouses above.
In the three-bedroom residence, a sculptural triangular entry table, co-created by Christian Bense and Atelier 278, forms the focal point of the entrance, acting as an architectural compass that subtly guides movement through the home. A sisal rug by Peter Page and an etching by Juan Escudero introduce a gentle interplay of texture and art, creating a sense of discovery from the moment of arrival, with every detail intentionally considered from the outset.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Hotel Designs.
