St George Wharf Tower, Also Known As The Vauxhall Tower, Is A Residential Skyscraper In Vauxhall, London, And Part Of The St Georg Editorial Image

At 181 metres 594 ft tall with 50 storeys, it is the eighth-tallest building in London and the tallest residential building in the United Kingdom. The tower`s floor-plan design is based on the shape of a Catherine wheel and is typically divided into five apartments per floor with separating walls radiating out from the central core. Sky gardens provide residents with a semi-external space stepped forward from the pure circular plan, creating steps in the façade that accentuate the building`s height and provide variety and interest in the detailing of the otherwise minimal cladding.The building is divided into three distinct parts—a base that houses the communal facilities of the building including a lobby, business lounge, gym, spa and swimming pool; a middle section containing most of the apartments; and an upper section where the façade reduces in diameter to provide 360-degree terraces and a wind turbine that tops the structure.
