Imagine living in a home where a Thames Clipper takes you straight to your front door. A home that is surrounded by nature, as well as art, design, technology and is in one of the wealthiest capitals in the world. A home that is modern but creative and says, you’re a part of the future.

Last week I was invited to an exclusive showcase and was among a select few to experience what it’s really like inside the new No 3. Upper Riverside, Greenwich Peninsula apartments.  We spent the afternoon with Sophie Ashby, who was behind the interior design of the new 126 apartments, and she gave an inspiring talk on what it was like taking on a project of this size and prestige.

During the project with Knight Dragon, Studio Ashby also worked with five British craftsman to create an eclectic range of handcrafted pieces, each inspired by this unique riverside setting. The
Peninsula Collection recently launched and we sat at the Peninsula Ash dining table which is one of the pieces designed with the Galvin Brothers. She talked us through her inspirations behind the furnishings used in each apartment, the colour schemes and the importance of the final
details.

Upper Riverside is one of Greenwich’s seven new neighbourhoods and sits next to London’s exciting new Design District for a unique new London lifestyle. In close proximity to the Upper Riverside’s landscaping is the Ravensbourne Digital College and the NOW gallery, which has been designed by Marks Barfield Architects.

Encompassing the works of the award-winning GROSS MAX, the electric Interiors by Tom Dixon’s
Design Research Studio, State of Craft and Studio Ashby - the polarity of style here is intentional,
to be celebrated.
