Orion
Orion is an outstanding development of one and two bedroom apartments on Battersea Park Road in Battersea SW11, one of London’s most fashionable districts. The development comprises three separate buildings – Nebula, Artemis and Sirius.
Externally, each building is resolutely post modern in style, featuring a combination of brick, render and boarding. Sirius, the building at the development’s eastern boundary, comprises 20 one and two bedroom apartments configured over four floors. Many apartments have a patio or balcony, and are intelligently designed to maximise all available floor space within the building’s curved footprint.
