At the peak of summer: the power of outdoor spaces

Share:

As we enter August, there is no better time to embrace the restorative power of nature – with longer days and lighter evenings, spending time outdoors is a vital part of wellbeing. Exposure to sunlight provides a crucial dose of vitamin D, supporting immune function, bone health, and mood regulation.  At Riverstone, these are a few central reasons in how we’ve shaped the experience of living here.

Our private gardens, thoughtfully designed by the internationally acclaimed Andy Sturgeon, renowned for his work at the Chelsea Flower Show and landmark projects across the world, are curated outdoor sanctuaries. These tranquil spaces offer residents a place to unwind, meet with friends and family, and simply feel each sensation of summer – the gardens become a daily retreat for our residents.

But at Riverstone, the connection to nature extends beyond the gardens themselves – location matters. Our residences are positioned in London’s most picturesque neighbourhoods. From leisurely strolls through Holland Park’s Kyoto Garden to riverside ambles along the Thames, to the vast green expanses of Hampstead Heath, nature is never far away—for residents and their guests alike.

Because this chapter of life deserves to be lived beautifully, with every detail considered. And sometimes, the most meaningful luxury is simply the time and space to enjoy the sun on your skin.
