Living the high-life: new penthouse apartments with roof terraces overlooking Shoreditch Park

Clean cut interiors, oak flooring and a wall of sliding glass lead out onto a roof terrace offering stunning views over Regent's Canal and Shoreditch Park.
David Spittles14 May 2018

Stylish yet well-priced penthouses have been unveiled at Hoxton Press, twin towers rising on the site of a former printworks in N1 alongside Regent’s Canal and Shoreditch Park.

A sign of the quality at the top of the buildings is the attention to detail at the bottom, where an underground car park features arched brickwork akin to a Victorian railway viaduct, and granite setts illuminated by designer lighting. Even an electricity substation, clad in granite, resembles sculptural art.

All this is due to the painstaking approach of architects Karakusevic Carson and David Chipperfield.

The hexagonal shape of the towers, clad in burnished, almost brutalist Belgian bricks, dictates the floorplan of the 198 apartments, which have wide, semi enclosed, double-aspect balconies that are highly usable, year-round spaces, providing both fresh air and protection against the elements.

Even the central lift lobbies are six-sided, instead of the customary corridors.

The penthouses have high ceilings and a wall of sliding glass opening on to a roof terrace, one of which is a very generous 750sq ft.

Interiors are clean cut, contemporary and comfortable, with oak floors, white-lacquered kitchens and shadow-gap skirting boards. Underfloor heating means walls are radiator free, while space efficient pocket doors slide back into the wall cavity.

Penthouses priced from £1.95 million. Other flats start at £660,000. Call Anthology on 020 3308 9813.
