Nile Street is a development of 175 new homes, with a co-located college, tucked away from City Road between the vibrancy and dynamism of the Shoreditch area and the financial district of the City of London, providing a quiet retreat within the capital.
An interconnected podium and tower, reaching 28 storeys, houses five studio flats, 155 two and three bedroom apartments and a small number of family duplexes with private roof gardens. A generous provision of private communal facilities includes a screening room, two landscaped garden terraces, a gym, a treatment room and three lounges, perfect for ad-hoc meetings.
The sensitive modern design conceived by Avanti Architects ensures the building responds to its environment by referencing the surrounding warehouse typology, but reinventing it for contemporary residents.
