GREEN & BLUE INFRASTRUCTURE
GLORIOUS GARDENS
BY RANDLE SIDDELEY
IN FULL BLOOM AT CHELSEA WATERFRONT
With summer in full swing, the
beautiful landscaped gardens at
Chelsea Waterfront are now in
bloom, providing a green sanctuary
on the river banks of west London.
The unveiling of the gardens
coincides with the reopening of the
sales and marketing suite at the
landmark residential development
by Hutchison Property Group.
Chelsea Waterfront, designed by
internationally renowned architect
Sir Terry Farrell, overlooks a part
of the River Thames which was
previously inaccessible. The luxury
development comprises 10 buildings
including a 37 storey tower, the
tallest residential building in SW10, a
25 storey tower and the conversion
of the historic Lots Road Power
Station, which powered the London
Underground for almost a century.
Chelsea Flower Show Inspiration
The gardens at Chelsea Waterfront
are inspired by the works of the
annual Chelsea Flower Show and
Chelsea Physic Gardens. Acclaimed
landscape practice, Randle Siddeley,
combined creative flair for a classic
yet contemporary landscape. Water
gardens are seamlessly connected
by three stunning bridges over the
creek, while green space and planting
create an oasis of nature with
breath-taking views along the river to
Battersea and Chelsea Bridge.
