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.
