16 NHBC Pride in the Job Award - Berkeley Homes - 250 City Road
BERKELEY HOMES - 250 CITY ROAD
Quality is the defining characteristic of Berkeley developments , right down to the very last detail . Their locations , style of homes , construction practices , materials and specifications are chosen with great care .
250 City Road certainly lived up to this billing as it scooped the Multi-storey Builder Category winner for Berkeley Homes North East London Site Manager , Matt Smurthwaite , at the NHBC ’ s Pride in the Job 2022 Supreme Awards .
Fine materials , elegant details and exquisite fixtures and fittings create the perfect home , with views on offer from each and every room . Residences on the upper floors feature spectacular panoramic views across London .
The competition covers England , Wales , Scotland , Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man and includes house-building businesses of all sizes : small , medium and large , with a separate category for multi-storey construction .
For over 40 years , Pride in the Job has been an important part of NHBC ’ s work to help drive construction quality . For winning site managers , the awards are an inspiration to give a little extra , to strive harder for ever-higher standards of house building .
NHBC believe that the calibre of the site manager and the way they inspire their site team has the greatest influence on the quality of the finished home .
250 City Road is described as the epitome of luxury living . Perfectly situated for the ultimate London living experience , 250 City Road is a landmark development designed by world renowned architects Foster + Partners .
Located in a prime location between Angel and Old Street , City Road is within walking distance of the City of London ’ s financial district and Shoreditch and is only five minutes from King ’ s Cross and 20 minutes to Bond Street by tube .
It is also only a five-minute walk from Tech City - home to many global brands - making it one of the world ’ s most important digital destinations .
The project ’ s current phases include Siena House ; Vermont House ; and Valencia Tower .
Valencia Tower features five stunning penthouses on the 34th , 35th and 36th floors that sit at the pinnacle of the development . Styled by Studio 9 , this prestigious collection of two- and three-bedroom suites offer some of the most breathtaking and uplifting views across the Capital .
The stunning apartments surround the central plaza that will play host to cafés , restaurants , retail outlets and creative workspaces .
Turning to the project ’ s exterior , 1.9 acres of beautifully landscaped green spaces and secluded courtyards create a sense of calm , connected and contemporary living . Inspired by canal life , three larger than life sculptures by award-winning artist Ian Rank-Broadley act as wayfinders that guide you through the Wi-Fi enabled parkland .
A central plaza surrounds the parkland potted with mature trees , water features and wildflower beds . There are also busy cafes and restaurants that open out onto the public walkway that rings the ecologically diverse scenery . Eye-catching art installations capture the attention of those passing by .
Giles Robinson , Partner , Foster + Partners , said : “ 250 City Road successfully marries intricate low rise architecture , which carefully responds to the streetscape and urban realm , with impressive high rise towers responding to the wider city context .
“ This has created places to live and work with a human scale whilst also defining a landmark destination .”
