Apartment layouts available at 8 Harbord Square – the Prospect and the Gramercy

how Canary Wharf Group’s latest release of homes on the estate really does break the mould

by Jon Massey

T

hrough the detective novels of country singer, writer, sometime politician and fictitious amateur sleuth Kinky Friedman, I first developed a desire to live in a loft.

The Texan’s austere space shared only with a cat and dressed with a vintage espresso machine, a plaster bust of Sherlock Holmes filled with cigars and two red telephones on a desk connected to the same line to give incoming calls a greater sense of importance, struck me as aspirational.

I even found myself making a pilgrimage to Vandam Street on a visit to New York to see the supposed site of the character’s residence – a little like fans of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle travel to Baker Street to stroke the foot of Holmes’ statue.

Turn on the TV, watch something American and, you’ll often find the main character living in a raw industrial space with plenty of light streaming in to illuminate exposed brickwork, bare concrete and bold art – the sort of place the supposed income from their job as a cop or a private eye would never actually support.

Cross the pond and, even in London, the dream seems unattainable. Brick-built warehouse properties don’t exactly pop up on the market very often.

Which is why the design of Canary Wharf Group’s latest collection of 82 properties for Wood Wharf is both clever and just a little bit breathtaking.

The first thing that hits you when you walk into the show apartment at 8 Harbord Square is the sheer size of it.

More than 1,000sq ft of almost completely unbroken space stretches out from the door, dressed to show off the potential dual aspect styling of the Gramercy – the larger of the two types of loft on offer.

The Gramercy show home for 8 Harbord Square extends to more than 1,000sq ft

Industrial chic: The show home bathroom While the Prospect is smaller at just over 800sq ft and single aspect, it features the same bare brick and industrial radiator finish. It also shares with its sibling the fact that the only fixed elements within are the bathroom and kitchen.

Everything else is up for grabs. Buyers can take the spaces as bare shells and fill them full of high-end furniture, art and retro curios or choose to divide the space with walls in a more conventional layout.

“This is a brand new concept for Canary Wharf and, as far as I know, in new-build developments over the last 20 years I’ve been working in the industry,” said Canary Wharf Group director of residential sales Brian De’ath.

“We’re creating a warehouse-style space and giving it over to truly open-plan living. The show apartment demonstrates that – there are no internal walls other than the ones dividing the bathroom off from the rest of the space.

“The way we’ve dressed it reflects one possible way of

living in these apartments, but they lend themselves to a multitude of options.

“You could, for example, divide them up into three bedrooms or one bedroom with a study.

“We’ve created a suite of floorplans to help give people ideas as well as partnering with an interior designer who will also offer advice if that’s what buyers are looking for.

“With most new-build properties, those decisions have already been made by the developer – where a bedroom is located and what size it is.

“With these, people can absolutely configure their own space or leave it completely open.

“When the 82 apartments are finished, I hope I can walk into them and see 82 different ways of living in them.”

Set to launch on the open market on November 4, the apartments all feature Crittal-style windows, exposed brickwork, black ceiling fans, red pipework for the sprinkler Continued on Page 18 The stainless steel fitted kitchen

gone further, commissioning a mobile orchard to complement its Hothouse installation – a transparent cubicle by Studio Weave filled with plants that would not normally grow in the UK. The flora within has been selected by garden designer Tom Massey (no relation) to highlight humanity’s effect on the planet as, should the rate of climate change continue to accelerate at its current rate, avocados, mangos and pomegranates could all be growing outside in the British Isles by 2050.

Tom is also responsible for the planters – moveable by forklift – that can be strewn across the square or moved to let, say, thousands of West Ham fans pass by on their way to the London Stadium.

He said: “It’s both exciting and terrifying that you might be able to grow the plants in the Hothouse outside in the not too distant future.

“Already, as a garden designer, I’m seeing the climate affecting what can be grown outside.

“Both everything in the Hothouse and in the mobile orchard planters produces

system and black cast iron radiators. Kitchens come in stainless steel with Siemens appliances, while bathrooms include freestanding baths, twin sinks and walk-in Crittal-style shower areas.

The feel is deliberately industrial with exposed electrical conduits and it’s all part of Canary Wharf Group’s plan to attract a certain kind of buyer.

“It’s not something anyone ever asks for,” said Brian. “But people have said they really like seeing how the building works.

“We wanted to create a diversity of product on the estate. We’ve completed our first apartments in 10 Park Drive and One Park Drive and they offer a fabulous way to live in Canary Wharf in a traditional style of home.

“We didn’t want to follow them up with another building in the same mould. We wanted to show another way to live here and to reach a demographic who perhaps hadn’t previously considered the estate as a place for them.

“What we have here is very different to everything else.

It’s a real representation of everything you’d get living in a warehouse that was built 150 years ago – the high 2.9m ceilings, for example – but with all the modern conveniences of a new-build and the amenities

of the whole of Canary Wharf within a 15 minute walk.

“We think these properties will really appeal to people who are design-savvy, who want to curate their life through the things that they own and live with. We haven’t tried to create a building that people say is ‘quite nice’. Buyers will either fall in love with it or it won’t be for them.

“We can see how popular true second-hand warehouse stock is in London – places such as West India Quay, Shad Thames, Clerkenwell and Shoreditch – such apartments in these places appear on the covers of interiors magazines. We think people who like those properties will also like these.”

Located in Wood Wharf, 8 Harbord Square will be adjacent to forthcoming shopping area The Lanes – an area intended to have the feel of Soho’s bustling streets and businesses. The 11-storey building will be finished in ornate red brickwork and tiles and sits next to Harbord Square park towards the eastern edge of Canary Wharf.

Prices start at £745,000 for a Prospect apartment. Go to residential.canarywharf.com

t’s increasingly incumbent on developers to both create and improve public space. High watermarks locally include Crossrail Place Roof Garden in Canary Wharf with its cascade of greenery, Cator Park at Kidbrooke Village with its superb playground facilities and Maribor Park at Royal Arsenal Riverside with its artificial river delta.

To that list, add Endeavour Square in Stratford. Located on the footfall between Westfield Stratford City and the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, developer Lendlease’s contribution to the area isn’t all about the buildings at International Quarter London.

With artwork woven into the paving and a fountain installation plumbed in at the front of The Pavilion – the developer’s mostly wooden flagship building, which recently opened as cafe, restaurant and rooftop bar – there are plenty of permanent attractions to snag passers-through.

But the company has

“While you’d probably need a greater quantity of trees to produce a serious amount of fruit, there’s no reason why you couldn’t do that in planters similar to these – you just need the space.
