Covering Clerkenwell and Farringdon, EC1 is home to some ever increasing trendy hot spots, with Michelin starred restaurants, an abundance of cool bars and fashionable evening spots. But now, EC1 is set to get even cooler with the introduction of the much anticipated Canaletto high rise. The super-sleek high-rise residential property in EC1 has been designed by the architect Ben Van Berkel. The high rise tower looks more akin to a futuristic sculpture than a mere block of apartments. It’s designed with a unique curving facade, made of aluminium and glass breaking the volume into a series of three-to-five storey clusters.
The apartments are Ben van Berkel’s first major project in the UK, with inspiration being drawn from his international successes in New York, Singapore and Shanghai. With over half of the 190 apartments having been sold in just four months after their launch, Canaletto is now revealing the Beaumont Collection, available from May 15th 2014. Inside, the premier three-bedroom apartments are state-of-the-art spacious modern sanctuaries away from the hustle and bustle of Shoreditch, with incredible views over London. The interiors of these luxurious apartments have been designed by the renowned Martin Goddard – interiors connoisseur of five-star hotels including The Berkeley. Located on City Road, near the City, Clerkenwell, and Shoreditch this property is in prime location for both London’s business and leisure hubs. The development’s state-of-the-art amenities, including a restaurant, swimming pool, and residents’ club on the 24th floor will make Canaletto one of the most desirable new builds in London this year.
Prices for the Beaumont Collection start from £2 million. For more information visit: canalettolondon.com
