Flat for sale in Dawson Street, London E2

The Home -

Imagined by Hawkins Brown Architects, brought to life by lbs Properties and with interiors by Honky Interior Designers, hkr brings you this top floor one bedroom apartment with the most amazing uninterrupted views over the city. Raised on Hackney Road, Hoxton is hkr’s home, where it thrives against the backdrop of unabashed grit and understated elegance. Toned weathering steel frames span the façade of the building, with an architectural rhythmic grid designed to resist corrosion and abrasion. The metal repairs itself, constantly evolving - painted by the rain, bleached by the sun and sculpted by the wind. Hawkins Brown strive to create places with personality and purpose. Hkr’s weathering steel exterior is a key feature of the building’s character. Unusual for the road, it stands out from more muted neighbours. Constantly changing in tone, texture and shape, its urban character will continue to evolve.

The Indoors

The orange glow of the reception’s fireplace and weathered steel walls creates a warm, welcoming feel. The concierge provides added security and a friendly face to address residents’ queries and requests throughout the day. They can also receive and store deliveries to give you complete peace of mind. An additional storage unit can be purchased on request within the building. Internal bike storage can be found of the lower ground level along with a private cinema room that can be booked for residents and guests.

The passenger lift is accessed on the ground floor via entry fob for added security. This south east facing one-bedroom apartment is one of four units that occupy the 9th floor offering penthouse living with very much a boutique London hotel feel throughout.

Upon entering the apartment you are greeted with a mix of engineered wood flooring underfoot that changes as you meander through the apartment. Light floods through into the hallways via the floor to ceiling windows in the lounge and bedroom. A huge double cupboard offers much needed storage whilst housing the washing machine and underfloor heating and air-conditioning allows you to control the desired climate.

The striking lounge is light filled via the dual aspect windows and is the perfect space to relax, take in the views or entertain. The Kitchen is a mix of high and low level cabinetry complemented with a grey frontage, stone worktop and integrated appliances. The dining area offers enough space for a 6-8 seater table and separates the room perfectly.

The double bedroom has a luxurious calming feel where you can unwind and take in the views over the city and beyond through the floor to ceiling windows.

The bathroom is finished with porcelain tile feature wall, enamelled steel bath, freestanding hand basin and separate shower enclosure.

The Outdoors

The spacious balcony is the perfect place to unwind and take in the views over many London landmarks.

The fifth floor landscaped garden terrace is a rare commodity in Hoxton; your lookout for long summer evenings in the open air without having to leave the comfort of home. Higher still, the tenth floor sky terrace is at the pinnacle of hkr. Take in panoramic views of the City and Canary Wharf, while planters lining the edge create a sense of natural sanctuary in urban Hoxton.

The fully-equipped private residents’ gym is located on the fifth floor landscaped garden terrace. Enclosed, but still affording commanding views over the City and Docklands, there are also outside areas for yoga or fitness classes. It’s a rare convenience – no need to detour on the commute home.

Loving The Location
