But for them, achieving one of the greatest ever feats of civil engineering – turning the original 97 acres of derelict Docklands into one of the world’s most sought after locations – was just the start. Over the last thirty years Canary Wharf Group has worked with many of the world’s leading architects, pioneered innovative and sustainable construction methods and gained a reputation as world leaders in creating not just buildings but thriving places, where communities as well as busi- nesses flourish. Being one organisation that does everything – from the vision, through construction, to day-to- day management – gives the Group a uniquely long- term perspective.

Levels 33 - 57 three typologies The lower floors contain the Loft apartments – some of One Park Drive’s largest apartments. With high ceilings and wrap-around terraces, they are designed to make the most of the connection to both the green spaces and the waterfront. 03 — Bay The Cluster forms the heart of the building. It is the typology that contains the greatest variety of 02 — Cluster apartments. The lower levels are connected with the parks and the water, the higher floors with the sky. 01 — Loft The upper floors contain the Bay apartments. They have double-height terraces which are set back into the building. Their design is focused on maximising light and the views across London. 02 — Cluster Levels 10 - 32 01 — Loft Levels 02 - 09 20 One Park Drive The architecture 21 01 — Loft Levels 02 - 09 “One Park Drive has three distinct zones offering different types of accommodation, that are clearly expressed, offering a sense of individuality in a larger development.” Jacques Herzog 22 One Park Drive The architecture 23 02 — Cluster Levels 10 - 32 03 — Bay Levels 33 - 57 24 “We look for materials that are as breathtakingly beautiful as the cherry blossoms in Japan or as condensed and compact as the rock formations of the Alps, or as enigmatic and unfathomable as the surfaces of the oceans.” Herzog & de Meuron Loft apartment terrace 26 One Park Drive The apartments 27 The terraces: where sky and living meet All too often the balconies on residential tow- ers are ill-thought through; often small, visually unappealing, exposed and unfriendly to use. Not so at One Park Drive. Here, every apartment has terraces designed to work seamlessly with the interior living spaces. There is also great variety; many of the Cluster apartments have two outside areas, the Lofts have expansive wrap-around terraces and the Bay apartment terraces have double-height space above them. Each terrace is naturally sheltered within the building’s form, yet connected with the scenery beyond. They’re spaces that invite you outside.

The interiors focus on natural materials and finishes throughout with special attention being paid to the tactile surfaces. The three typologies so powerfully expressed in the exterior architecture have their own distinct yet harmonious personalities.
