A beautifully crafted 3-bedroom duplex penthouse in Principal Tower, designed by Foster + Partners. Spanning 2,855 square feet, this residence offers open-plan living with high-end finishes and a spacious terrace providing panoramic views of London. Known for their visionary approach, Foster + Partners have created a living space that blends elegance and functionality. Residents have access to exclusive amenities, including an infinity pool, spa, gym, cinema, and 24-hour concierge service. A unique opportunity to live in one of London’s most architecturally significant buildings.
Foster + Partners’ signature elements in Principal Tower include the use of sleek glass façades, maximizing natural light and offering panoramic views of the city, along with a harmonious integration of luxury living and sustainable design. The attention to detail, high-quality materials, and modernist aesthetic elevate the building’s architectural importance.
Foster + Partners have crafted some of the world’s most iconic structures, blending innovation with aesthetics. One of their most famous works, The Gherkin (30 St Mary Axe) in London, has become a symbol of the city’s modern architecture. Its distinctive, tapered shape not only stands out in the skyline but also incorporates cutting-edge energy efficiency, using natural ventilation to reduce energy consumption. In Apple Park in Cupertino, California, the firm designed a futuristic, circular campus that pushes the boundaries of sustainability and technology. The building is almost entirely powered by renewable energy, with large solar arrays and extensive green spaces, reflecting a vision for eco-conscious design.
Another standout project is the Millennium Bridge in London, a sleek pedestrian suspension bridge that elegantly links St. Paul's Cathedral to the Tate Modern. Its minimalist design and engineering excellence make it a beloved feature of London’s riverscape, offering both functionality and artistic beauty. These projects, along with Principal Tower, highlight Foster + Partners’ ability to combine architectural innovation with cultural and environmental sensitivity, creating structures that not only function well but also inspire.
Situated at the intersection of the City of London and Shoreditch, Principal Tower enjoys a unique location that blends the financial district’s historic significance with Shoreditch's vibrant, creative energy. The area offers an exciting mix of old and new, with iconic landmarks like The Gherkin and Leadenhall Building just a short distance away, while the lively streets of Shoreditch are filled with cutting-edge galleries, restaurants, and boutiques. This neighborhood reflects the evolving character of London, making it a prime spot for both business and culture. Whether enjoying the artistic vibe of Shoreditch or the timeless architecture of the City, residents of Principal Tower are immersed in one of the most dynamic and sought-after areas of London.
