“Vista is the key stepping stone linking the main Nine Elms development area with Battersea Park via a pedestrian route through the site. The innovative design approach responds to the views across the park, embracing them and incorporating soft landscape wherever possible within the design. The unique design ensures that with increased height the buildings step back to create an organic and curvilinear built form, sensitive in scale and massing to the setting. This helps minimise their bulk and mass particularly when viewed from Battersea Park and responds to the conservation area setting. This stepped articulation allows for generous terraces and private amenity spaces, rarely found within London; challenging the ubiquitous nature of London residential developments, where residents benefit from spectacular views over Battersea Park and towards the River Thames. Each private terrace incorporates an infinity style planted edge treatment, creating a strong connection with the park.” (Vista Chelsea Bridge, Scott Brownrigg)
