“A sculptural new addition is rising on London’s South Bank”, otherwise known as Opus, Bankside Yards, captured the attention of Martyn White, a respected editor whose work explores the intersection of premium design, interiors, and contemporary art. White pinpoints how Opus is set to lead the way when it comes to sustainable, design-led living in the capital, with future-thinking at the heart of the project. Combining exceptional architecture, lifestyle amenities and cultural destinations all in one space, Opus will not just be visually impressive; it will offer an exceptional immersive living experience.

There are a variety of aspects that will make Opus an extraordinary place to live, as Martyn White shares. Here are just some of the key takeaways:

• Opus will include Northern-European inspired interiors alongside passive design strategies. The design team includes PLP Architecture, ODA and landscape specialist Enea.
• Sustainability has been prioritised on every level, including the use of thermally efficient materials, to being part of UK’s first large-scale fifth-generation energy-sharing network, which reduces the building’s environmental impact while enhancing comfort and efficiency for residents.
• The extensive amenities offer at Opus reflects the South Bank’s creative and cultural heritage. At the centre of this is the 23rd-floor Summit Club & Deck, a private residents’ club offering a double-height lounge and bar, private dining room and catering kitchen, and a landscaped terrace with spectacular uninterrupted views across London. As White describes, the “space feels like an extension of home; relaxed, elegant and entirely exclusive.” Bankside Yards and the neighbourhood surrounding Opus will soon become “one of the capital’s most dynamic cultural corridors” and is set to include a 171-key Mandarin Oriental Bankside Yards hotel, as well as boutique shops, restaurants and cultural venues.

Setting the tone for a new era of city-centre living, Opus has anticipated the future needs of its residents, combining luxury, sustainability, wellness, and culture all in one space for years to come.
