8 Harbord Square: London’s First Blank Canvas Homes for the Creatively Adventurous

LONDON, UK – Media OutReach – 22 October 2021 –
New to the market, 8 Harbord Square is a
collection of 82 loft style apartments, inspired by the history of the London
docklands and Canary Wharf and influenced by the warehouse districts of Lower
Manhattan. Designed completely open plan with no fixed walls and exposed
interior features, purchasers can enjoy lifelong autonomy to shape their homes
to match their lifestyle. Completely unique and one-of-a-kind the apartments at
8 Harbord Square are available from £745,000.

 

Brian De’ath,
Director of Residential Sales at Canary Wharf Group
, comments: “The apartments at 8
Harbord Square are unlike anything else available in London, providing the
perfect canvas for purchasers to creatively shape their new home. We are
passionate about delivering developments that bring a sense of character and
individuality to Canary Wharf and London as whole.

 

“We fully
expect the development to appeal to people who want all the benefits of a
new-build home yet crave the ‘urban loft lifestyle’ of Manhattan and London, and
are attracted to the free-flowing, open yet intimate space, the apartments
offer.”

Designed by
leading architecture practice Karakusevic
Carson Architects,
8
Harbord Square
reflects the industrial heritage of Canary Wharf, with
exposed brickwork, concrete ceilings, large industrial-style windows and
engineered timber flooring.

 

Paul
Karakusevic, Founding Partner at Karakusevic Carson Architects
, commented: “The solid brickwork façade is organised into simple
vertical bays, with rhythmical brick piers. Decorative panels and crisply
articulated cornices help define the window bays, roof line and grand
two-storey base. Residential park-side entrances and retail units sit behind
the deep, glazed-brick colonnades of the ground floor base to create an active
frontage to the square.

 

“We
hope that the building will help define `Harbord Square’ with a building that,
on the one hand echoes the Wharf history, while on the other will perform to
highly sustainable modern standards, with a stripped back palette of materials
and flexible space.”

 

Designed to offer
up unlimited opportunities to create flexible living spaces, there are two
apartment types available at 8 Harbord Square – the 809sq. ft. Prospect loft
and 1,035 sq. ft. Gramercy loft. The only fixed elements within the apartments
are the kitchens and bathrooms, which have been designed with modern features
to stylishly contrast with the warehouse-style interior features.

 

The kitchens include stainless steel
countertops and matching cabinetry, with metal effect splashbacks. Integrated
Siemens appliances include fridge/freezer, induction hob, single oven, dishwasher
and combined washer/dryer.

 

Contemporary bathrooms are a feature of
each apartment with subway style glazed wall tiles, Crittal walk-in shower
enclosures, freestanding double-ended baths, double wash hand basins,
wall-mounted WCs and backlit mirrored storage cupboards.

 

The concept of
dressing the open plan spaces at 8 Harbord Square will be an exciting challenge
for purchasers, with the freedom to create the ultimate loft-style pad.
However, for those that may need a helping hand, the sales team will connect
owners with some outstanding designers that can inspire, create and curate a
standout home.

 

8 Harbord
Square
forms
a crucial part of Wood Wharf, a new and growing neighbourhood of Canary Wharf, comprising
a well-considered mix of flexible offices, boutique retail, restaurants and
spacious green spaces interspersed with architecturally outstanding residential
buildings.  

 

Residents of 8
Harbord Square
enjoy direct access to Harbord Square Park, whilst the building
will be adjacent to The Lanes, which will bring a vibrant energy reminiscent of
Soho, with an eclectic mix of shops, bars, cafes and restaurants.

 

Residents will also benefit from all of
the exciting aspects that make Canary Wharf a 15-minute city. With direct
access to a wealth of
independent and global brands, beautiful homeware stores, galleries, organic
health food shops, pop-up street-food vendors and panoramic rooftop restaurants,
Canary wharf offers you everything you could want to enjoy on your doorstep. Discover
what’s going on around the Estate with the year-round arts and events
