wardian london brochure

Ecoworld and Ballymore are thrilled to be working together on Wardian London, one of the most visionary projects London has seen in recent years. In the last thirty years Canary Wharf has been transformed, and remarkably so. Guided by one of the boldest redevelopment masterplans the world has seen, it has now surpassed the City of London as Europe’s leading financial district. Wardian London will be part of this success story. Combining modern architecture with innovative landscaping, it sets a new standard for the high-rise living experience – put simply, a tranquil haven of nature in the heart of London’s new financial centre. The unique partnership between EcoWorld and Ballymore is behind some of the most notable buildings in London.

In the midst of the skyscrapers and waterways of Canary Wharf, Wardian London offers an oasis of nature. Comprising two iconic apartment towers with restaurants, curated shops and stunning facilities, the vision is to create a new address like no other, a haven of peace and beauty in the heart of London. Why ‘Wardian’? Because the towers’ design has been inspired by the work of one Londoner, the great explorer, botanist, and inventor, Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward. A doctor by trade, he changed the world with his botanical glass container, the deceptively simple-looking ‘Wardian case’, and while contemporary renderings of that aesthetic are a defining feature of Wardian, the inf luence goes beyond the mere visible. The vision for Wardian is to take inspiration from his curiosity, his spirit of adventure and his sense of precision, and to create the most exciting new development in the British capital.

One of the greatest innovators in Docklands’ history was Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward (1761 – 1868), a local physician and keen botanist who invented a method of transporting plant life across vast distances. His tightly-sealed glass terraria, known as ‘Wardian cases’, allowed ships to preserve living specimens of the exotic plants they encountered. The vessels could now return with them to the London Docks, often after journeys that lasted several years. Ward’s creation changed the world: London’s scientists were now able to study tea from China, rubber from Brazil, and vegetation from as far away as Australia.

In the Wardian development, the concept of Ward’s innovation is remade as a series of grand architectural gestures. Giant glass cases, encountered throughout the building, exhibit beautiful arrangements of trees and plants. The beauty of the wild is harnessed and choreographed, creating not just a design effect but a rejuvenating experience that moves with the living cycles of the seasons. This natural serenity is transposed into apartments with private gardens, and the spirit of discovery is sparked every time you take in the view, perhaps from the rooftop sky lounge, towards the vastness of the river Thames, or across the greatest city on Earth.

In their plan for Wardian London, Glenn Howells Architects drew inspiration from some of the finest classic modernist buildings of the twentieth century. From Mies van der Rohe’s Lake Shore Drive Apartments (Chicago) to Oscar Niemeyer’s Brazilian Congress (Brasilia), the best modernist architecture was notable for its bold embrace of modern materials, and the way it achieved lasting beauty in minimal shapes of great elegance.

Building on this tradition for a new century, Wardian London’s stunning simplicity from afar belies a carefully choreographed balance of shape, function and form. Factors such as the presence of a private garden with every apartment testify to a structure shaped at each step by two simple aims: to achieve the best possible residential experience and create a building worthy of the term ‘modern classic’.

In the 1980s, the former maritime area of Canary Wharf and the surrounding Docklands was reinvented as one of the most important business districts in the world. Ballymore has been a key player in this global success story and remains at the forefront of its continuing evolution. Home to the European headquarters of international finance, media and technology companies, Canary Wharf has now overtaken the City of London as Europe’s pre-eminent financial hub. The location enjoys unparalleled transport connections including the Jubilee Line, Docklands Light Railway, Thames Clipper boat services and European f lights via London City Airport, and Canary Wharf will be a key station for the major new east-west railway line Crossrail. The continued growth of London’s new city centre in the east is powered by investment in the billions. An already existing 16 million sq. ft. of office space is being added to at an exponential rate, with the local workforce expected to grow from 110,000 to 200,000 in the next two decades.

M E T R O P O L I SIt’s no coincidence that so many global businesses are based in Canary Wharf

and Docklands. London is a metropolis with the financial, cultural and

commercial capital to truly call itself a ‘global city’, located in an ideal

timezone for international business.

Within Europe’s great twenty-first century city, Canary Wharf offers

a perfect combination of dynamism and infrastructure. Reliable and frequent

London-wide transport links are complemented by quick flights across the continent. Stunning river views go hand

in hand with a top-tier retail and restaurant offering.

Wardian London is an architectural triumph, drawing from the heyday of modernist architecture and the finest elements of modern building design. The formal, bold lines of a visionary man-made geometry are complemented by the organic, verdant shapes of nature. On the skyline, beheld from a distance, the two modernist-inf luenced towers are striking yet simple, refined and yet ambitious, with a glimpse of green hinting at the wonders within. As the entrance is approached, Wardian’s stunning botanical features and architectural details begin to reveal themselves. This is a feast for the senses, especially for residents, who benefit from apartment and garden designs maximised to achieve the best possible use of space and light. The ethos of discovery meets the promise of an oasis of tranquility in the new centre of London.

The Wardian lobby has a stratospheric grandeur.Sunlight refracts through exotic foliage, the interplay of light and shadow painting a different picture with every passing second. Its high, beamed ceilings and slender columns are designed to achieve an expansive perspective, a sense of discovery and change that remains awe-inspiring no matter how many times the building is entered.

The harnessing of the natural world inside the steel, glass and bronze Wardian cases that frame the lobby gives the space an ever-changing atmosphere defined by the best elements of each season. The friendly face of the 24/7 concierge service greets you as you continue on your way, whether en route to enjoy the perks of the exclusive Wardian Club or catching the lift to your apartment, the bustle of the city falling decisively away with every step.

A Beautifully

Crafted Sanctuary

T H E W A R D I A N C A S E S

Amid the cityscape of Docklands, Wardian London offers a beautiful sanctuary. Throughout the development are large glass cases filled with trees and plant life. These are not just for decoration but can be entered, a series of private gardens bringing to mind the botanic palmhouses found in great collecting gardens like Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

Their character changes gently with the seasons. Snowdrops and bluebells bloom in spring; field maples glow a rusty red in autumn. The planted environment spills out into the whole building, from the lush and verdant edges of Wardian’s luxury open-air pool to the exquisite roof garden and observatory. Meanwhile, to the very top of the building, each apartment has an exterior space whose size renders it not just a balcony but a fully-fledged private garden.

The effect of this groundbreaking approach to landscaping is that when gazing at the buildings from a distance, a subtle green hue announces that these are something quite different and wonderful. The imagination is fired, even from afar.

It’s a simple difference, but a game changer: Wardian’s apartments do not just have balconies but fully-fledged private gardens. The spacious exteriors mean the benefit of an expansive outdoor area, rare in such a central setting, is granted to each apartment. Not only that, the floor to ceiling windows create an enhanced sense of space even when you are inside. With the doors open, the private garden becomes an extension of the residence. The boundary between home and garden, comfort and discovery, can be exactly what you want it to be.

Each Wardian private garden is as lush or sleekly minimalist as the owner prefers. It can be a canvas for horticulture, a space for reading or a setting for a picnic like no other. As the days, weeks and years move through their respective cycles, the breathtaking panorama of London below is transformed. The view from your garden in the sky is always familiar, but never the same.

The pool at Wardian is no mirage but a milestone in contemporary pool design

6 4

T H E P O O L

The open-air pool at Wardian is both a sumptuous sanctuary and a serious facility for dedicated swimmers. A miracle of contemporary pool design, it offers three lanes of 25 metre, athletic standard swimming amidst a sublime natural landscape. The serene space, framed by leafy canopies, adds a haven of watery beauty to Wardian’s already stunning blend of luxury and botany.

Design flair makes for a five star experience, with changing rooms linked directly to the pool by both walkways and water. It’s the best of both worlds: you can swim to and from the pool without ever standing in the open, or relax on the poolside without ever swimming: whatever your mood and the season dictate. Signature beams and columns frame this stunning centrepiece of the exclusive facilities that are on offer to Wardian’s residents.

For meeting friends, reading or working to the backdrop of an amazing view, the roof garden is the perfect venue. An eclectic and richly designed lounge offers a comfortable and stylish decor style, with a nod to classic vintage London. A dining area allows you to entertain guests. The palette is one of warm, neutral metals and woods with lush colour accents, studded walls, louvered windows, and the feel of a collector’s den. All surrounds a Wardian case containing the most exotic of the building’s many indoor gardens.

Wardian London is the result of a collaboration between two of the most pioneering developers in the world, EcoWorld and Ballymore. To realise their vision for a new kind of luxury development, a team was commissioned comprising some of the leading architects, landscape and interior designers working in their fields today. The brief was to push themselves, to boldly pursue new ideas, and by doing so to create something worthy of being hailed as a momentous, brilliant and wonderfully liveable landmark in contemporary building design.

EcoWorld is led by some of the most well-known and respected industry players, who between them have transformed the Malaysian property landscape through leadership of ground-breaking, standard-setting and multiple award-winning developments. EcoWorld’s Chairman, Tan Sri Liew Kee Sin is also well-known for spearheading the regeneration of Battersea Power Station in London and other international projects in Melbourne and Singapore. Their wealth of experience, combined with the youthful energy and enthusiasm of the team, enabled the Group to quickly establish its brand presence in Malaysia. The Group has fourteen projects located in three regions,

namely the Klang Valley, Iskandar Malaysia and Penang. These include affordable, upgrader and luxury homes, integrated high-rise developments and green business parks. Through its associates, the EcoWorld brand has now also extended to the United Kingdom and Australia with several exciting developments in London and Sydney lined up for launch in 2015. Committed to its vision of ‘Creating Tomorrow & Beyond’, EcoWorld is inspired to focus on building distinctive and uniquely identifiable products which offer living environments that not only stand the test of time but provide enduring value for generations to come.

B A L LY M O R E From its beginnings as a family-run house builder in Ireland, Ballymore has grown into an international property investment and development company, focused on large-scale projects across the world. Ballymore has a reputation for bringing new large-scale projects into cities in a way that responds to the local area, resulting in stunning developments that are cherished by those who use them. A leader in urban regeneration, Ballymore is notable for the breadth of its involvement, the way in which it leads projects every step of the way. A leading force in the London property market, it has been behind many of the

great urban regeneration and masterplanning successes that have come to define the city. Ballymore’s achievements include playing a key role in the consolidation of Canary Wharf as a world-leading business centre on what was once a derelict dock complex, and the transformation of City fringe district Spitalfields from a semi-industrial zone into a thriving retail and cultural hub. Now, through sites including Wardian, Embassy Gardens, the Lea Peninsula and Royal Docks, it is a core stakeholder in the most important regeneration projects in London’s future, both east and west.
