The Heron is a 36-floor residential tower located in the heart of London's EC2 district. The building's façade is a sight to behold, featuring a large-scale mosaic of clear, opaque black and dark grey glass, silver anodised aluminum, and polished stainless steel. The result is a highly reflective and visually exciting surface that immediately catches the eye. But the building's beauty doesn't stop at its exterior. The interior spaces have also been thoughtfully designed, with creative architectural concepts that enhance the overall experience of living in The Heron. One of the most notable features of the building's design is the prudent positioning of supporting columns, which allows for fully glazed corners in the apartments, providing residents with exceptional views of the city. Sustainability is at the forefront of The Heron's design. The development utilises the Citigen Combined Heat and Power system for heating, cooling, and hot water, which effectively reduces the building's carbon footprint. The need for artificial cooling due to solar gain is minimised by a system of "brise soleil" balconies and screening on the south and west facades of the building. Additionally, sustainable construction methods have been carefully monitored to minimise the impact on the local community, with noise, emissions, and disruption kept to a minimum. The building offers a range of amenities for residents to enjoy. A concierge is available to assist with any needs, and a landscaped roof garden provides a peaceful refuge with unique and tranquil views of the city. The private club floor includes a stylish bar with café dining, a screening room to watch special events and the latest movies, and a private dining/meeting room with conferencing and business facilities. A private gym with facilities for personal training is also located on this level. But perhaps the most exciting feature of The Heron is its connection to the world-renowned Guildhall School of Music & Drama. The lower floors of the building house new, state-of-the-art facilities for the school, including a 608-seat concert hall, 227-seat theatre, and studio theatre, in addition to space for teaching and support services. Combined with its neighbor, the Barbican Arts Centre, The Heron will become an international cultural destination, thereby enhancing the prestige of the residential tower. The Guildhall School of Music & Drama has an impressive list of alumni, including Daniel Craig, Honor Blackman, Orlando Bloom, Sir James Galway, Jacqueline du Pré, Sir George Martin, Ewan McGregor, and Bryn Terfel, to name but a few. Living in The Heron puts residents at the heart of this vibrant cultural scene, providing a truly unique and unparalleled living experience. Combined with its neighbour, the Barbican, it's an international cultural destination thereby enhancing its prestige.
