Shard Place : Luxury Rental Apartments and London’s Highest Outdoor Pool
Developed by the visionary minds at Renzo Piano Building Workshop (RPBW), architectural force behind the iconic Shard, bring you Shard Place, London Bridge’s newest residential landmark. Shard Place, a 27-storey world-class residential glass building, comprises 176 elegantly furnished apartments exclusively available to rent.
The architectural firm RPBW brings a wealth of international experience with a wider portfolio that includes the Centre George Pompidou in Paris, The New York Times Building, and Mareterra in Monte Carlo.
An architectural statement, this 27-storey glass building will echo the skyline impact of its renowned sister development. The eye catching design of the Shard Place is expressed through a striking architectural composition defined by two intersecting volumes. Together, they appear to ‘float’ 16 metres above ground level, this signature design approach is further reflected in architectural features such as a striking faceted façade with low-iron glazing that maximises natural daylight, and naturally ventilated winter gardens that enhance the building’s relationship between indoor and outdoor living.
Each of the homes, range in size from studios to three-bedroom apartments have been crafted to make living in the capital easy and elegant, whilst prioritising wellbeing. Varying from 425 sq. ft. to 1,486 sq. ft, with 20 differing layouts, each residence is designed to foster connection to the surrounding urban landscape. Flooded with daylight and offering remarkable views of London’s ever-changing skyline, key features include floor to ceiling windows and triple aspect vistas.
Crafted for a new generation of Londoner, the apartments at Shard Place are furnished by multi- disciplinary design studio, State of Craft. A natural extension of the building’s architecture, the homes are thoughtfully designed using timeless, natural materials and tactile surfaces. Paying homage to the local neighbourhood, residents can choose from two distinct interior palettes – Bermondsey and Borough – each offered in light or dark colourways to suit a variety of personal styles.
Every residence is also complete with bespoke handmade furnishings by State of Craft. For added convenience and comfort, residents can enhance their homes with optional upgrades including Beaumont & Brown linens and bespoke ProCook kitchenware. Throughout the building, and within each apartment, over 1,000 artworks have been individually curated by Richeldis Fine Art. Redefining lifestyle-led living whilst setting a new benchmark for London’s rental market, tenants of Shard Place will have access to 12,000 sq. ft of luxury amenity spaces, set across three distinct levels.
At its zenith, London’s highest outdoor swimming pool is majestically set against the city’s skyline, complete with a landscaped sun deck and changing rooms, providing renters with the ultimate space to relax and unwind. Residents will also have use of a double-height orangery and library, opening onto an expansive outdoor south-facing terrace with striking views of St Paul’s Cathedral, the perfect urban oasis to socialise, work or unwind.
Additional amenities include a 12- seater private dining room and kitchen, available to book with a private chef, a 15-seat cinema perfect for movie nights, and state-of-the-art wellness suite fully equipped with a gym, private studio, sauna, and steam room. To complement the health and wellbeing offering, Educated Body specialists will offer residents a curated a programme of wellness events and experiences.
Accompanying these amenities, additional benefits include 24-hour concierge, security and around the clock on-site maintenance as well as exclusive car club membership and secure bicycle storage. Further services, available on request, include bespoke housekeeping and laundry provisions.
Completing the trilogy of buildings that make up the 2.5 million sq. ft mixed-used Shard Quarter – home to Western Europe’s tallest building, The Shard, and News UK’s headquarters, The News Building – Shard Place is ideally located in the heart of London Bridge. One of the fastest growing, historic neighbourhoods in the capital, where culture and business harmoniously coexist, Shard Place residents will live within walking distance of landmarks such as White Cube, Tate Modern, and the Tower of London as well as some of the city’s finest gastronomy, from the vibrant Borough Market and Bermondsey Street to the Michelin-starred excellence of OMA and Trivet.
