London’s newest prime riverside address by Excel Winner has unveiled an exquisite quinque-plex, riverside penthouse in No.9 Thames City, a 37-storey building by international architects Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (notably famed for the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa) in Nine Elms.
A masterpiece in design and architecture, the five-bedroom home is set over 9,983 square-foot (sq ft) and features two private outdoor terraces – located on the 33rd and 37th floors – spanning more than 3,452 sq ft. Crafted interiors have been conceived by Squire and Partners, the master planners behind Belgravia’s coveted neighbourhood, Chelsea Barracks, to creatively realise planning and design inspiration for this unique space whilst utilising material base palettes developed by HBA Residential.
Delivered by a team of world-class experts, Thames City is one of London’s most sought-after prime destinations – moments from Battersea Power Station – and forms a growing Zone One London neighbourhood of new homes and amenities which sit within beautifully landscaped green spaces.
Skyline living
Offering expansive and generously appointed living spaces, the property boasts floor-to-ceiling windows and ceiling heights of 2.9m, allowing natural light to flood through the spacious home. Impeccable craftsmanship and design detail further elevates the interior quality, featuring an interior base palette of marble worktops, brushed bronze fixtures and fittings, herringbone timber flooring with marble borda to reception and living.
Surrounded by 360° vistas of London’s dynamic skyline – acting as its own unique and ever-changing piece of art – this exquisite penthouse features two statement staircases, which stand central to the staging of the home. Distinct in shape and composition, each is an artform itself and displays a dramatic structural presence taking inspiration and movement from the home’s riverside location. A delicate chandelier, made from handblown glass and elegantly strung in water droplet form, has been indicatively envisioned within the space to majestically capture and refract natural sunlight to create a stream of technicolour explosion throughout the day.
Complete with modern technologies and brands for effortless living, the penthouse offers seamlessly integrated technologies, which include Gaggenau and Miele appliances, Lutron home automation system, electrical fireplace, air-cooling systems, and underfloor heating throughout.
A sanctuary in the sky
This spectacular and height defining penthouse features two individual and iconic river fronted outdoor terraces, each set at different heights to create multiple staging opportunities for living and entertaining – from sunrise to sunset.
Located on the 33rd floor, residents are greeted with a 2,548 square foot terrace to offer a unique private space with comfortable and flexible dining and seating options to host, entertain and socialise. Ascending onto the 37th floor – and with private access from the primary bedroom – an intimate terrace can be found via a bespoke and crafted spiral stairway which unfolds into a secret garden retreat, boasting its own private Jacuzzi and outdoor kitchen.
Offering the ultimate height of luxury living, this penthouse enjoys an abundance of outdoor space and unparalleled views which overlook heritage landmarks, including the neighbouring Battersea Power Station, and far reaching views of The Shard and The City.

Redefining modern city living, this penthouse puts the capital – and Nine Elms – on the global stage for luxury living, bringing together specialists across architecture, design and interiors to create a masterpiece in the sky. In the curation of this penthouse it was imperative that we created a real life haven, maximising the iconic London skyline and creating ample outdoor space for entertaining.”
