Industrial Charm, Characterful Corners, Verdant Vistas.
Vabel Lawrence is located on Lawrence Road, a broad tree-lined avenue in lively and culturally diverse Seven Sisters.
Harking back to the industrial origins of the road, the generous proportions, stepped brickwork and black metal-framed windows of the new architecture trace the area’s history.
These roots inform our design concept: a modern form of warehouse living. We combine the charm of a warehouse conversion with all the modern comforts of a new build.
Industrially Inspired, Comfortably Crafted.
Each apartment is carefully designed for the flow of modern life, feeling good to live in, and to grow in. Vabel Lawrence consists of contemporary homes with composed proportions, realised in a raw, honest palette with subtle tones, and illuminated by plentiful natural light.
At the heart of our process is a consideration for how your home will function and how it will feel, no matter what you’re up to. As such, the open-plan spaces are generous and flexible, yet with considerately defined zones: kitchen, living and dining.
Natural materials run through the comfortable living space, with warm oak flooring bringing a sense of character, juxtaposed by the exposed concrete soffits which nod to the area’s industrial heritage. There is thoughtfully placed storage throughout. In the kitchen, birch-faced plywood and wood-grain cabinetry sit alongside glazed bronze tile splashbacks, referencing the pop of colour introduced at your apartment door.
We know how lighting can enhance your mood and wellbeing, and how your needs change as the hours and seasons pass. Linear LEDs, loft-like track lighting and pendants are precisely placed throughout to create a calming experience, each fully dimmable. This functionality is ideal for creating a peaceful retreat in the bathroom, which features a rain shower, brushed black brassware designed in London, and matt white sanitaryware from Barcelona-based company Roca.
In the Master Suite, a dressing room delineates the space between sleeping and bathing, with en-suites nestled to one side – a calm space for daily rituals. When you wake, you look out onto the leafy tree-lined street or densely planted courtyard beyond your generous balcony.
