New images of a £4.9 million penthouse in Battersea’s Lombard Wharf have been revealed today.

The three bedroom, three bathroom home is one of 134 apartments in the ‘twisting tower’ located in Lombard Road.

Designed by Patel Taylor and Barratt London, each of them has its own balcony or terrace which allows people to walk all the way round the perimeter and see out to London.

Twenty seven of the building’s apartments are believed to be 'affordable housing', however most are said to have been sold already, and the other 107 are privately owned.

The skyline has a ‘distinctive tear-drop shape’, and looks to twist as it rises because of the positioning of its white precast-concrete balconies.

The fronts are lit with LED lights at night, tracing its shape in the sky.

Pankaj Patel, director at Patel Taylor, said: “Unlike most riverside developments, Lombard Wharf does not have a discernible front or back. Riverfront buildings have a propensity to face the water.

“We wanted Lombard Wharf to look equally attractive from every viewpoint, acting as a marker on the river whilst not turning its back onto the city.

“The creation of a new public plaza is at the heart of our vision, opening up a link from west to east.

“The dynamic form of the building grows from this public space, with a sculpted form twisting upwards to give panoramic views to all homes.”

Meanwhile, a public walkway through one of the Cremorne Bridge railway arches is being opened to allow easier access.

It sits on the bank of the River Thames and is said to be one of the last remaining riverfront sites in Wandsworth.

Ed McCoy, sales director of Barratt London, said: “The distinctive and graceful design of the building, its location, and its proximity to Clapham Junction have made Lombard Wharf a popular choice for buyers looking to move into or invest in Battersea.

“The building is a great addition to this area of the riverside. Facilities for residents include a fitness suite, secure cycle storage and 24-hour concierge service.

“We’ve recently opened a penthouse show home by Rachel Winham which makes the most of the extraordinary views across London. Prospective buyers are encouraged to visit soon, as properties in a building of this quality rarely stay on the market for very long.”
