Designed from the inside out, the building’s form is driven by the internal planning of light-filled, spacious and comfortable homes that enjoy double and triple aspect views across London. Each home benefits from a winter garden, an enclosed balcony with floor-to-ceiling windows, which brings daylight in and creates a sense of openness and connection with the outside.
The building is a catalyst for high quality architecture in the area. Dollar Bay improves the public space on the previously unused waterfront promenade: it signi cantly contributes to local regenerationand supports and enhances the local community by providing a new waterfront destination for all to enjoy.
By resting lightly on the ground, additional space for the landscaped waterside public realm is created.

The building rises as two elegant crystalline forms fused together by the joint of the circulation core.
The building develops vertically, turning into a 31-storey residential tower with 120 apartments and double-height Penthouses, on the upper 4 storeys of the tower. The construction presents a relatively small footprint, but it is still proportionate to the height of the tower that slightly exceeds the 100m. The building is fully clad with a glazed envelope, designed with several curtain walling systems. The particular aspect of the West Elevation, where the units slope inward and outward, has been designed with trapezoidal shaped unitised curtain walling, which required to be developed using 3D modelling software.
Rising like a beacon at the head of South Dock, Dollar Bay marks a new place of re-development of the Isle of Dogs and provides a striking addition to Canary Wharf’s impressive skyline.
Dollar Bay enhanced public space on a constrained yet prominent site. With a relatively small footprint of 0.24 hectares on which to build and the site being closely bounded by low-rise residential developments, the use of this area has been optimised to create a delicate tower.
A simple rigour infuses every line of the tower’s taut geometry. The building rises as two elegant crystalline forms fused together by the joint of the circulation core. A meticulously detailed façade gives Dollar Bay its unique appearance: the west façade facing the waterfront appears to ripple. Its folds and creases evoke a waterfall gathering pace as water descends, generating a series of horizontal facets across the elevation that capture the light differently.
Reflecting the water and sky, the clear glazed and fritted glazed façades maximise views out and adjustable louvres and openable windows enliven the façade, creating a constantly changing surface.
