Hampton House

OVERVIEW

Project Overview:

The iconic Hampton House, located in the heart of London, consists of three striking towers known as "The Corniche." Rising to heights of 85 meters and spanning 15 to 27 storeys, these towers house 253 apartments, office spaces, a restaurant, cafe, bar, gym, pool, and spa area. The towers offer breathtaking views of prominent landmarks such as Westminster Palace, Tate Britain, and the London Eye. The distinctive architectural design with arched structures allows for panoramic views and an abundance of natural light. Guttermaster Limited played a significant role in providing Concealed Rainwater Pipes, Soffits, and Bespoke Fabrications to adapt to the building's unique arched layout, offering custom solutions to meet the project's specific requirements.
