The Architecture
Back by popular demand, following the success of our first property on leafy Lawrence Road, this property has many of the same hallmarks as the first phase, but this time, with some subtle, soulful differences. We took our design concept – Warehouse Living, Made Modern – and gave it a twist for our latest, lofty edition.
Outside, industrial charm welcomes you home, with stepped bricks, blackened metalwork and a verdant courtyard garden. Inside you’ll find, 71 beautifully crafted homes – each one generous, comfortable and meticulously detailed. Layered with texture – warm timbers, exposed concrete and industrial fittings. The result is an inspiring, stimulating place to live.
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.
The Apartments
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.
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.
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.
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.
