A joint residential development venture between Canary Wharf Group & Qatari Diar, London’s South Bank has been transformed by a unique mixed-use development with the famous Shell Centre Tower at its heart.

The ultra-sleek design by Goddard Littlefair, was conceptualised with an experiential focus to create a serene city oasis where residents can escape to relax, unwind and reinvigorate.
The use of unique and innovative fittings, include a light and calming palette of sensitively selected natural materials that have been paired with ambient lighting to create a cocoon-like space within the contemporary facility. Residents will be able to enjoy a luxury hotel-standard spa within their dynamic city-living environment.
The 2,000 sqm spa is set across various zones with the guest journey being a key focus of the design layout. To facilitate the needs of users who will want to be energised with a hard-hitting workout, in addition to others who want to relax, the two elements can be accessed separately to heighten the experience.
The spacious reception area acts as a hub and a social area for residents to meet one another, therapists or trainers. One fully equipped gym is available along with two separate studios which can be heated for a hot yoga workout or cooled for a dynamic spin class.
The alternative wet and relax route takes residents through plush changing rooms, the gentlemen having a dedicated sauna area while ladies can enjoy their own vitality pool, sauna and steam room.
On the pool deck there is a stunning 25m heated swimming pool, accompanied by a further vitality pool, sauna and steam room, along with social relaxation spaces for residents to enjoy.
Calm yet luxurious treatment rooms are also available, where selected therapies including beauty treatments can be availed of.
The design creates an immersive feeling of light and space through carefully concealed architectural lighting that casts warm glows across rich surfaces while decorative lighting provides beautiful accents through the space.
The bespoke, exclusive nature of the details of the spa design is evident in many areas, including panels of marine-grade faux leather which have been embroidered and stitched by artisans.
Providing users with a sense of privacy and exclusivity was also key to the design. One example of this is the use of beautiful custom-made burnished rock crystal screens in the reception area.
