_Spring sees the launch of new homes at The Arc, City Road

Inspired by the skyscrapers of New York’s historic skyline and designed by starchitects Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, The Arc’s outwardly tiered, industrial red brick form brought together internally through light, space and energy - a nod to the iconic Art Moderne style of architecture of 1930's America - serves as unique reference point on City Road - a dynamic gateway linking the City with Old Street, Angel, Shoreditch and the West End beyond.

Internally, light and space jostle for attention and are used to great effect - from the dramatic luminescent tunnel formed by the lobby’s great, curving light to the breathing room factored into each design-led apartment.

Whether working from home or entertaining on a grand scale, homes at The Arc have been designed with the modern Londoner in mind, delivering multifunctional spaces that transition from day to night.

Dressed in cool stones, soft woods and beautifully finished fixtures and fittings, modern materiality, textures and tones bring together each of the studio and 1-3 bedroom apartments. Floor-to-ceiling windows and open-aspect views from the balconies, terraces and winter gardens minimise the separation of indoors and out.

Encouraging socialising, relaxing, working or entertaining, The Arc offers a range of amenities that inspires collaboration, wellbeing and friendship. On the 7th floor there is a roof terrace and the lounge area is the development's primary social and work hub.

Next door, the screening room is an intimate space, beautifully designed and upholstered to evoke a sense of sumptuous luxury and effortless sophistication. Whether airing an old favourite, getting together to watch a major sporting event, or even hosting presentations and talks, it’s a space for residents to use how they wish.

For mind and body, the yoga room accommodates up to 13 people, plus an instructor should you choose to arrange a class. There are also gym rings and rope climbing apparatus for a range of other physical exercise and training routines. Beneath The Arc lie the underground gym and 332 cycle spaces.

The independent destination restaurant on the ground floor lets you experience the best of London fine dining. Check the specials board on your way home and have your order ready before you’ve even sat down.

The tree dominating the public realm at the front of the building has been preserved, with seating added beneath so you can stop and watch the world go by.

The area is one of the best connected in the capital with the nearest tube station, Old Street, accessed in 5 minutes on foot, served by the Northern line and the soon-to-open Elizabeth line/Crossrail at Farringdon. 

Offering residents an exciting and dynamic place to call home, characterful City Road is now a destination in its own right full of momentum and aspiration.

Connecting the capital's many different faces and flavours, lined by architecturally significant historic building and new developments rubbing shoulders with tech and creative firms, there's plenty to do and see heading towards each compass point - from the skyscrapers of the City, sleek restaurants of the Square Mile to the Shoreditch scene and the independent boutiques and canalside walks around Islington and Clerkenwell.
