Canary Wharf, London
A new landmark for London at the heart of the emerging Wood Wharf community.
“A finalist in the British Home Awards for best community living
& winner of the best apartment scheme at the WhatHouse? Awards.”
Commissioned by Canary Wharf Group, the two adjacent buildings share a single architectural language whilst catering for different lifestyles. 10 Park drive is the first private sale residential development at Canary Wharf, while 8 Water Street is celebrated as the areas first pet-friendly address.
Crafted to create a strong sense of place, the buildings are warm and inviting at street level, while at the same time evoking a feeling of solidity and permanence. In doing so, they clearly signify the shift from Canary Wharf’s commercial district to the calmer residential docks.
Containing 345-apartments & rising tall with 42 storeys, 10 Park Drive plays a pivotal role in establishing Wood Wharf as a thriving new neighbourhood. Accommodation comprises 141 two-bedroom apartments, 115 one-bedroom apartments, 74 studios and 15 three-bedroom apartments.
10 Park Drive’s companion is the 13-storey 8 Water Street, which contains 174 rental apartments & ground floor retail. Its lower-rise character offers a more intimate connection with the nearby water and green space.
As well as their own balconies or terraces, residents also have access to a secluded lounge and terraced roof garden on the 13th floor – an oasis of calm within the city.
These buildings are more than just homes. Together they are essential in supporting the emerging Wood Wharf neighbourhood, which will comprise up to 3,600 new homes, as well as retail and public spaces, gardens and parks, a doctor’s surgery and a school.
10 Park Drive was awarded Gold for the best apartment scheme at the 2020 WhatHouse? Awards. 8 Water Street was a finalist in the 2022 British Home Awards for best community living.
