This development is located north of the Canada Water basin in the London Docklands, within a masterplan aiming to regenerate the wider Surrey Quays area. The scheme forms one half of a waterside residential and retail proposal providing a variety of public and private realms and a hierarchy of routes within its boundaries.

The design comprises a simple perimeter development around a large open courtyard, with three building groups individually addressing their differing contexts. This strategy propagates diverse residential typologies, varying in density, massing and height. A large scale urban block addresses the main Surrey Quays Road, whilst a terrace of mid-scale tenements on a curving alignment runs towards the basin leading to an expressive waterfront tower. A row of canalside townhouses fronts the Albion Channel, supporting a rooftop penthouse floor and terminating in a modest apartment block.
