Two residential towers overlook the Olympic legacy landmarks of the Aquatics Centre, the ArcelorMittal Orbit and the London Stadium. The buildings help to form a southern gateway for the Olympic Park, and their design articulates an early legacy concept of 'buildings within a park' relating to and very much being embraced by the new park landscape. Their streamlined design provides a distinctive image, and residents benefit from generous balconies and naturally-lit accommodation across a mixture of home types.
