Within The OWO Residences by Raffles, The Westminster Residence stands apart.

Designed for family life, entertaining and retreat, it moves from generous social spaces above to a quieter, more private world below - all within the extraordinary setting of The OWO.

For Alex Rusling, it’s a home that brings together scale, character and a way of living you rarely find in prime central London.

Cooler mornings, softer light and evenings that still invite you outside.

At The Westminster Residence, your private terraces mean you don’t have to leave home to enjoy the change of season: morning coffee outside, long evenings outdoors, and spectacular views are on your doorstep.

Rather than attempting to recreate the past, Banda applies a contemporary lens to their expression of life at The OWO Residences by Raffles.
