Information

Sense provided procurement and cost advice on the 50 storey 180m residential tower at St. Georges Wharf for St. George South London Limited. The design concept for the tower was a simple circular form providing a high quality, energy efficient environment for the 150+ apartments. The building is the UK's tallest residential tower at 49 storeys and incorporates a roof level corkscrew wind turbine to meet the lighting needs of the building's public areas.

Key Features

  • Roof level corkscrew wind turbine
  • Water drawn from London's aquifer deep underground is passed through a heat exchange to provide heating in winter and cooling in summer
  • Energy saving triple glazed facades
  • A winter garden to every apartment providing an effective thermal buffer and natural ventilation
