50–60 Charter Street

IGP-DURA®xal 42and IGP-HWFclassic 59 were used for the façade design of the project. A total of around 15 tons of powder coating were processed. The high-quality coating systems were used for various façade elements and cladding and underline the building's precise material and design language. Thanks to their high weather resistance and durable surface quality, they meet the demanding requirements of a modern high-rise project and make a significant contribution to the lasting value of the architecture.

The  project, designed by GRID Architects, forms an important part of Wood Wharf's third phase of development, adding two elegant residential towers with 756 build-to-rent apartments to the quarter. The 34- and 49-storey buildings are connected by a common plinth, creating a direct connection between Charter Street and the South Dock waterfronts. The ensemble is complemented by retail space and a variety of common areas that offer residents attractive places to work, play and meet.

Characteristic of the architecture is the finely structured façade design, which is based on the industrial history of London's Docklands. Vertical elements and meticulously crafted details add depth and structure to the volumes, while expansive glazing provides bright living spaces and impressive views over the water and the Canary Wharf skyline. Instead of classic balconies, the focus was deliberately placed on spacious interiors and high-quality communal outdoor areas, creating a modern living concept with a high quality of stay.
