St Edward’s 9 Millbank, a prestigious residential development that sits on the banks of the River Thames, has a set of five Grade II listed homes on offer ranging from 2,550 to 9,717 square feet.
Dubbed The Heritage Collection, the apartments sit on the upper levels of 9 Millbank that overlook some of the most prominent landmarks in London, including the houses of parliament, the River Thames and the London Eye.
Situated on the edge of a UNESCO World Heritage site, 9 Millbank was formerly known as Imperial Chemical House – a neoclassical Portland stone building constructed between 1927 and 1929. It was once an influential manufacturer that stood as a physical symbol of its industrial innovation.
With tributes to the building’s former life, each residence of The Heritage Collection has been distinctively crafted to capture the essence of British heritage and the glamour of the roaring 1920s in the creative hands of interior designer Goddard Littlefair. Iconic British colour palettes, materials and artworks are incorporated throughout the Collection to echo the historic features in the Grade II-listed building.
The Conrad, for instance, boasts an elongated columned terrace that stretches 30 metres with unimpeded views of the River Thames. Beneath, busts of eight celebrated scientists and innovators – from Alfred Nobel to Joseph Priestley – take pride of place to mark the property’s scientific legacy.
Inside the abode, a double-height lounge with a mezzanine library and a separate study, TV room and bar, as well as a separate guest
apartment, speak nothing, but grandeur. Some of the finishes such as herringbone parquet flooring, aged oaks, rich leathers, and silks, are used to conjure the Anglophile heritage of its surroundings.
Also up for grabs is The Walpole, which highlights a dramatic entrance hall clad in original wooden panelling; The Astor, which showcases a double-height living space and mezzanine complemented with a separate two-bedroom guest annexe and private roof garden; The Somerset, where a double-height vaulted dining and living room are complemented with a private roof terrace and winter garden; and The Gainsborough, which also features a Portland stone terrace completed with an original sculpture of the chemist Charles Sargeant.
Residents will enjoy a host of sumptuous amenities, also designed by Littlefair, which include a gym, swimming pool with a spa and treatment room, cinema screening room, meeting rooms, secure underground parking and 24-hour concierge.
位於泰晤士河畔的高級住宅項目St Edward’s 9 Millbank由英國二級歷史建築物改建而成，現推出合共五套名為「The Heritage Collection」的住宅單位，面積由2,550到9,717呎不等。系列座落於St Edward’s 9 Millbank頂層，俯瞰倫敦著名地標，包括議會大廈、泰晤士河和摩天輪「倫敦眼」等，彌足珍貴。
St Edward’s 9 Millbank建於1927年至1929年間，是一座新古典主義的波特蘭石建築，前身為別具影響力的化學製造商Imperial Chemical House，是當年化學界創新的象徵。
在室內設計師Goddard Littlefair的帶領下，系列的每套住宅均經過匠心打造，捕捉傳統的英倫建築精髓，以及屬於1920年代的浮華魅力。標誌性的英倫色調、建材和藝術品貫穿全套系列，以呼應二級保護建築物的歷史特色。
其中，「The Conrad」坐擁30米長的景觀戶外長廊，愛奧尼式石柱在旁邊一字排開，面向泰晤士河景致。長廊下方屹立著八位著名科學家的雕
像，包括化學家Alfred Nobel及Joseph Priestley等，向建築物的歷史致敬。
住所設有宏偉的雙層起居室、夾層圖書館、獨立書房、視聽室、酒吧，以及為留宿賓客而設的獨立住所，體現極致的奢華生活。室內舖有人字鑲木地板，配襯陳年橡木、皮革和絲綢等飾材，洋溢典雅的英倫氣息。
系列還包括「The Walpole」，設有恢宏大氣的入口大廳；「The Astor」，特設雙層客廳和夾層空間、獨立的兩房客用附樓以及私人屋頂花園；「The Somerset」，內設雙層拱形客飯廳、私人屋頂露台和冬日花園；以及「The Gainsborough」，附設波特蘭石露台，保留了前身建築物上化學家Charles Sargeant的雕像。
住戶可享同樣由Goddard Littlefair設計的一系列豪華設施，包括健身房、游泳池、電影放映室、會議廳、地下停車場和24小時禮賓服務。
