This magnificent building set on the banks of the River Thames was originally constructed in 1929 in the neoclassical style of the interwar years. Designed by Sir Frank Baines, the building housed the headquarters of the Imperial Chemical Industries. Now a Grade II listed building, Millbank Residences’ grandeur still stands tall in Westminster’s iconic skyline. 

Liz Lake Associates were appointed by St Edward’s to design a scheme which encapsulated the essence of the building and provide valuable outdoor space including courtyards for residents and visitors to look upon and walk through. The design ethos was to create a series of outdoor spaces set within a vegetated canopy with bespoke water features, the design forms a harmonious link between the two internal courtyards, one accessible for vehicles and encapsulated a detailed construction pack, working with the client and design team the scheme is finishing completion and open to residents.
