A UNIQUE ARCHITECTURE

Riverside’s distinctive architecture emphasizes the feeling of a peaceful oasis where creativity, sociability, and a streak of nonconformity are welcome.
The façade’s stunningly elegant columns mixed with the playful variations in shapes and silhouettes reflect the duality of their environment: a diverse meeting place where solid quality and attention to detail are prized.


PUBLIC AREAS

The shared central squares are at the heart of the communal living concept and are the ground for a variety of cultural and entertainment opportunities, from open-air movie screenings, to music in the garden and art exhibitions.


BLOCK A: BOUTIQUE HOTEL

The hotel is the center of public life at Riverside, with a mission of impeccable service, clever design and cosmopolitan appeal. Elements of the interior are focused around honest and durable materials, with a functional, streamlined aesthetic.
The lobby, a spectacular open space featuring double-height ceilings, hosts a bar and a restaurant. The eighth floor, another double-height space with panoramic views is dedicated to a signature restaurant, while the rooftop hosts a pool and bar area.

The floor layout is highly flexible: each floor comprises three modules which can be independent or integrated depending on the need of the client. Areas start at 60 m2 and go up to 250 m2. Offices are void of internal columns and flooded with natural light, allowing for a variety of spatial configurations and a fresh, creative working environment.

Ground Floor:
The ground floor, with its superb double-height ceiling, is dedicated to retail and food outlets, as well as hosting the building lobby. Giving onto the internal square through tall glass doors, this airy space is ideal for hosting an art gallery, a design shop, or an original café.

The eighth floor of the office building is a double-height floor devoted to conferences, day use meeting rooms and start up businesses. Outfitted with state of the art technology, this multi-purpose area is a useful feature for business residents and visitors alike.

The Rooftop:
Connected by a skywalk to the hotel rooftop, the office building rooftop becomes an extension of the hotel pool and bar area and epitomizes the social afterhours lifestyle.
