New to the city of dreams, One Crown Place is the latest mixed-development to hit the bustling City of London

London is well-loved for its juxtaposition of contemporary and medieval architecture, which creates an eclectic interplay between history and modernity. From its sublime fine dining scene to its historic landmarks like Saint Paul’s Cathedral, the City has long held sway over tourists and residents alike. Malaysian Developer, MTD Capital Group's latest mixed-scheme development One Crown Place, looks set to electrify this metropolis even further.

Like its surrounding neighbourhood, One Crown Place is an artful blend of heritage and modernity. It comprises a boutique hotel with a restaurant and a members’ club—all housed within a cluster of restored Georgian townhouses designed by George Dance the Younger—as well as offices, retail space and luxury apartments of a decidedly contemporary nature.

One Crown Place is the brainchild of Kohn Pederson Fox Associates (KPF), the renowned architecture firm behind icons including Seoul’s Lotte World Tower, Shenzhen’s Ping-An Financial Centre, and Singapore’s Marina Bay Financial Centre.

The complex has been designed to capture your attention at first glance. Note the two towers that rise 28 and 33 storeys above ground; each of the 246 designer apartments housed in the towers has been designed to offer an expansive view of London's most iconic landmarks while also maximising natural lighting.

Designed by Bowler James Brindley, the interior design of these units reflects their exterior views, with touches of luxury throughout, featuring bespoke kitchens and wardrobes from Italian brands B&B Italia and Arclinea. There's also bespoke artwork by Stig Evans, who utilised each inner facade as an entire canvas unto itself. This has added further touches of refinement and luxury to each apartment. In turn, natural marble, brass accents and brickwork porcelain tiles further accentuate the chic blend between the traditional and contemporary.

To showcase the designs in One Crown Place’s residences, a new show apartment dubbed The Makers Apartment has been unveiled by London interiors firm Bergman and Mar. It draws inspiration from the concept of a ‘Collector’s City Retreat’, showcasing craftsmanship and the highest quality handmade furniture from Britain including ceramics by Talia James, whose application of colour, form and pattern reflects her Moroccan heritage, as well as handcrafted furniture by Galvin Brothers, an East Yorkshire-based family business that uses sustainably sourced timber.
