Designed by architects Rogers Stirk Harbour & Partners, the mixed-use development is made up of three stepped bays varying in height, creating a dynamic skyline.

The Merano Residences are formed with RSHP’s signature steel-cross bracing. These stabilise the simple concrete frame and the east and west facades made of glass which create a light transparent envelope. Vibrant, colours on the underside of the balconies, instantly brighten the surrounding area on Albert Embankment as well the building’s exterior.
