“Located on the north bank of the Thames between Vauxhall Bridge and Tate Britain, Riverwalk is a sinuously curved apartment building whose form responds to the river’s meandering path, to its prominent situation and visibility from considerable distances, and to architect Stanton Williams’ desire to maximise the daylight and views available to residents. The architects were concerned that the building should read as architecture, and not ‘mere landscape’, and made extensive studies of the ways that concave and convex curves ‘embrace and capture space, or move out into it’, and blend or interlock as one moves around the building, says architect Alan Stanton.” (Riverwalk, Architecture Today)
