Wardian towers on the Isle of Dogs (completion due in 2020) by EcoWorld and Ballymore deliver over 750 new homes in a central Canary Wharf waterside location, a short walk from Jubilee Park and One Canada Square.

Designed by Glen Howells architects, Wardian’s elegant, voluminous and highly balanced structures are a nod to the best of modern 20th century architecture. The spirit of adventure and curiosity of Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward, the Victorian inventor of the glass plant carry container ‘Wardian Case’, inspired the reinvigorating green design which brings the nature inside the development. There will be large glass containers filled with plants throughout the buildings as well as the extensive private ‘garden space’ for each apartment.

“International plant experts have sourced more than a hundred different species of exotic plants and flowers from across the world”
