London's most exclusive address and the world’s
most expensive residential apartments at One
Hyde Park were officially unveiled on Wednesday
January the 19th 2011
The four residential blocks are separated by a
series of fully glazed circulation cores,
incorporating stairs, lifts and lobbies, the
passenger cores are used by the building’s
occupants for primary access to the apartments
and penthouses, and service cores used for
secondary access by staff and providing service
access to the apartments. The (up to 13 storey)
superstructure of the residential accommodation
in each block comprises a pre-cast concrete
frame, expressed externally in two-storey
elements.
The most luxurious are two storey penthouse accommodations which are expressed as ‘inhabited roofs’. Walls are arranged in response to the geometry of the buildings and privacy screens below, with areas of solid and glazed elements set back from the edges, emphasising substance and solidity to the neighbouring blocks and buildings, whilst offering controlled views out.
Lytag® LWA 8:1 no fines screed was employed in the floor build up for weight reduction and applied to all floors of the 86 apartment development.
