Randolph Crescent
London W9

Share of Freehold

Architect: Openstudio Architects

https://www.themodernhouse.com/sales-list/randolph-crescent

“Interior walls have been cleverly arranged so as not to touch the exterior walls, allowing an excellent flow of light throughout”

This bright two-bedroom apartment lies on the second floor of a handsome building on Randolph Crescent, a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of Little Venice, Maida Vale. Creatively reconfigured and refurbished by Openstudio Architects, the apartment extends over 915 sq ft and offers an open-plan layout of versatile living spaces. It has access to immaculate and peaceful communal gardens and is minutes away from Regent’s Canal.

The Tour

The houses on Randolph Crescent are characterised by their well-proportioned brickwork, white stucco-fronted porticos and bays, generous sash windows and black and white chequerboard-tiled entranceways. A striking pillar-box red panelled door, with a crowning fanlight overhead, gives access to the shared hallway and stairway of this apartment.

The apartment unfolds in an exploration of linear forms and spatial manipulation, offering flexible living and plenty of opportunities for adaptability. There is a sense of contemporary sophistication throughout, aided in part by the cohesive flow of interior spaces, which come together in an exacting mix of light, materials, colour and detail.

The layout of the apartment is wonderfully open, with each room looking through to the adjacent rooms. Interior walls have been cleverly arranged so as not to touch the exterior walls, allowing an excellent flow of light throughout. The living area is illuminated by sunlight and has leafy garden views, with defined areas for relaxing, working and eating. A magnificent full-height, teak veneered sliding door separates it from the beautifully detailed kitchen.

The two bedrooms overlook the treetops of Randolph Crescent and have expansive views over the tree-lined street. The main bedroom, replete with a wall of floor-to-ceiling storage, overlooks a lovely, plant-filled balcony. The second bedroom, awash with sunlight, is lined with shelving and further storage.

The generously sized bathroom can be accessed from either the hallway or the main bedroom. Its detailing is restrained and minimal, the muted grey glass mosaic tiling adding a hint of sparkle. Utility facilities are neatly located along the hallway, along with additional cloakroom storage.

Outdoor Space

Mature communal gardens lie at the rear of the house, accessed via a secure gate located at the end of Randolph Crescent. The gardens are laid to lawn, with mature shrubs and several seating areas, and are incredibly tranquil. Shade-giving trees are dotted all around, creating ideal spots for an afternoon of reading or an evening picnic. Local residents also gather in the gardens to enjoy community events.

The Area

Randolph Crescent is brilliantly located in Little Venice, Maida Vale; a thriving neighbourhood awash with cafes, bars and restaurants, as well as an Everyman cinema. Clifton Road is close by and has a number of independent boutiques and delis.

Regent’s Canal is a just short stroll away, a gateway to the rest of London and a lovely spot for a coffee at the Waterside Cafe, lunch on one of the many barge restaurants, such as Darcie & May Green, dinner at Summer House or an alfresco drink at Pergola Paddington. Other dining delights include delicious fare at Kateh and Maguro, a wonderful local Japanese restaurant off Clifton Road. The green open space of Paddington Recreation Ground is a three-minute walk away, and Westbourne Park and Notting Hill are a short distance to the south across the canal. Golborne Road and Portobello Road are also easily accessible. Less than a mile away are Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park and Regent’s Park. Lord’s Cricket Ground is also within easy reach.

There are plenty of transport options locally. The nearest Underground stations are Warwick Avenue, a three-minute walk away and Maida Vale, which is a five-minute walk away (both Bakerloo line), while St Johns Wood (Jubilee Line) is within easy walking distance to the northeast. The Westway provides access out of London and towards Heathrow Airport; Heathrow can also be reached within 15 minutes on the Heathrow Express, which runs regularly from Paddington.

Ghost House I
Borland Road, London SE15

£925,000
Freehold

Architect: Fraher and Findlay

https://www.themodernhouse.com/sales-list/ghost-house-i/

“Sustainability, flow and natural light are the organising principles in the house's configuration and aesthetic”

Designed by architectural developers Fraher & Findlay, this exceptional three-bedroom house is located on a quiet residential street a short walk from Nunhead and the expansive green spaces of Peckham Rye. Sustainability, flow and natural light are the organising principles of the configuration and aesthetic; the finest contemporary materials including terrazzo, engineered oak and perforated steel have been used. These are combined with super-insulation, a mechanical heat recovery system and extensive sections of glazing to create a home fit for contemporary life, which looks out over a beautiful private garden.

The Architect

Fraher & Findlay was founded in 2009 and quickly gained a reputation for cleverly conceived, award-winning residential projects across London. More recently, the architectural practice has grown into the realm of design and build, joining forces with Findlay Construction to create beautiful contemporary housing in challenging sites all around the UK. The Ghost Houses are their latest residential project in London. They were completed in spring 2021 as a terrace of three; one of the houses has already been sold.

The Building

The houses draw inspiration from the Japanese architectural model of a Pencil House, a building configured on a narrow plot. The Ghost House scheme develops this notion to create a set of flowing spaces that capitalise on their surroundings in a truly modern approach to living.

The Tour

The row of houses presents a striking façade to the street. Formed of white brick, with exaggerated zinc-clad pitched roofs, the elevations lend a contemporary twist to the traditional Victorian terraces that characterise the area.

Upon entry, a long hallway leads past a guest WC, through to the heart of the home: a split-level, open-plan kitchen, living and dining room, bathed in natural light care of full-height glazed windows to the garden. These spaces are incredibly bright, with high ceilings, terrazzo floors with underfloor heating and large skylights overhead.

The bespoke contemporary kitchen sits to one side, with an L-shaped counter with Corian worktops and integrated Bosch appliances, including an induction hob. There is an adjoining larder and utility room, plus built-in oak shelving. Just beyond the kitchen is the dining and living area. It is here that the exceptional light and volume of this house becomes most apparent. Light pours into the room across a custom-made oak window seat, while a set of steps leads up and out to the garden.

The environment of these spaces has been meticulously considered. The house is super-insulated, all windows are triple-glazed and the Mechanical Heat Ventilation Recovery system ensures that the air is regularly filtered and refreshed even with the windows closed. These features, combined with an innovative heat pump system, ensure that the air is cool in the summer and that the house remains warm in the colder months.

The first floor comprises a large main bedroom with built-in oak-fronted wardrobes at the front of the plan. There is also a second, slightly smaller bedroom on this floor, which is currently configured as a study and guest bedroom. There is a family bathroom with white tiles and striking black taps. Perforated steel panels on each of the landings allow natural light to cascade across the plan, which enters via a large skylight at the top of the house.

A third large bedroom with a skylight occupies the second floor, with a study area positioned at the back of the house overlooking the house’s wildflower roof and the garden below. There are significant amounts of storage space on this level within the eaves.

Outdoor Space

The house has a large private garden at the rear. A beautiful patio area, accessed via glazed doors from the living room, creates a wonderful extension of the internal living spaces in the warmer months, while a raised lawn with raised beds filled with plants and shrubs offers a low-maintenance outdoor space.

The house has a private bin and bike store at the front.

The Area

The Ghost Houses occupy a wonderful position on a quiet residential street a short walk from Nunhead and Peckham Rye. The area is peaceful yet has easy connections to the shops, cafes and restaurants of nearby Crofton Park, Brockley, Nunhead and Peckham. The shops of Nunhead Lane are a short walk away and include the now-famous fishmongers F. C. Soper. More recent arrivals include Babette, El Vermut, Four Hundred Rabbits, and coffee shop Goodcup. The Ivy House, one of London’s only cooperative-run pubs, is positioned just around the corner, as is the Waverly Arms, popular for its beer garden.

Peckham has become known for its restaurant and arts scene and is within walking distance of the house. The southern end of Rye Lane is home to excellent restaurants and pubs including Mr Bao, Bánh Bánh and Pedler, as well as The White Horse and Taco Queen. Bellenden Village is a few minutes’ walk away, where The General Store has the finest seasonal produce including Neal’s Yard cheese and a selection of natural wines. Excellent neighbourhood restaurants include Levan (recently featured in our My Modern Menu series), Artusi and The Begging Bowl. Review Bookshop is a fantastic local independent bookshop

Nunhead Station is a 15-minute walk from the house, running Thameslink and Southern Rail service to London Bridge in under half an hour. Peckham Rye and Brockley stations run direct services to central London and connect via the London Overground citywide.

The Cassina Apartment
Television Centre, Wood Lane, London W12

£3,800,000
Leasehold

Architect: AHMM

https://www.themodernhouse.com/sales-list/the-cassina-apartment/

“A landmark piece of modern architecture”

This light and elegant three-bedroom penthouse apartment, with three private terraces, can be found on the eighth floor of Television Centre’s Crescent. It was built to a design by Stirling Prize-winning practice AHMM, lead architects on the award-winning reinvention of the Grade II-listed site, with interiors by furniture and interior designer Cassina.

The Building

A landmark piece of modern architecture, Television Centre was the home of the BBC for over 50 years, until its relocation in 2012. The newly built Crescent follows the circular form of the Grade II-listed Helios building and provides a boundary around the existing building, with views of the private gardens between them and Hammersmith Park to the west. For more information on Television Centre, see the History section below.

The Designer

This apartment is one of nine in the Crescent to belong to the ‘Architects’ Series’, each individually designed by an architecture practice alongside lead designers AHMM. This one was designed by AHMM themselves, whilst Coffey Architects, Haptic and Piercy and Co. have all contributed a unique treatment of light, materiality and layout for the other spaces. This particular flat has been furnished by Cassina, who were founded in Italy in 1927. They are now the only company authorised to manufacture furniture designed by Charlotte Perriand (1903-99) alongside other iconic pieces by great modern architects including Le Corbusier, Mackintosh and Rietveld.

The Tour

Internal accommodation extends to approximately 2,300 sq ft and is arranged in an open, lateral plan. At the apartment’s centre is the kitchen, by Molteni & Co and Dada Hi-Line, with appliances by Miele. A long walnut bar looks out through floor-to-ceiling glazing onto a large sky garden and far-reaching westerly views beyond. An adjacent gallery, bathed in light from a series of roof lights, allows the kitchen to be closed when necessary, retaining a primary route between the two front bedrooms and the living space.

The gallery leads to an expansive reception space, opening through a sliding pocket door to a central dining area that serves as a division between the formal and informal living areas. There is access to separate terraces at both aspects. The larger of the terraces looks inward over the enclosed communal gardens and is shared by one of the bedrooms.

All three bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and en suite bath or shower rooms. From the entrance hall, there is access to a guest WC and a separate utility room with a terrazzo worktop. The flooring throughout the living areas is engineered timber, with a Laminam ceramic tiled floor in the kitchen and porcelain tiled floors in the guest cloakroom and bathrooms.

The Area

Television Centre is at the centre of an exciting regeneration of the area, with the opening of independent restaurants such as Kricket and the new Soho House members’ club, White City House. Also nearby is White City Place, a creative campus with restaurants, shops and museums, and the new home to RCA’s Schools of Communication, Humanities, and Architecture.

Residents of Television Centre enjoy a range of brilliantly executed amenities, including access to the Soho House gym, a private cinema, 24-hour concierge, and an excellent residents’ lounge with work and meeting spaces.

Joe Allen | Covent Garden

‘Recently’ might sound like a bit of a stretch for an institution that opened in 1977.

Ekstedt at The Yard

This is the first restaurant outside of Stockholm for Michelin star chef Niklas Ekstedt, and it’s on fire right now.

Patta x Nike Air Max 1 'Monarch'

https://www.sneakerfreaker.com/news/where-to-buy-the-patta-x-nike-air-max-1-monarch

We haven't seen demand like this in a while! The Patta x Nike Air Max 1 'Monarch' has been wreaking havoc all over social media with its unique mudguard. Following a limited release last Friday, which was exclusive to the Patta site, select global retailers have been receiving stock ahead of an upcoming wider drop.

Patta and Nike's collaborative catalogue house a bunch of Grail-status Air Max 1s and the 'Monarch' is sure to slot in next to some of the greats. Most of the upper remains simplistic with clean mix of grey and 'Sail'. A dramatic orange wave mudguard is what commands attention, with the look set to be part of a larger 'The Wave' initiative.

If the Patta x Nike Air Max 1 'Monarch' is on your cop list, then look no further! We've curated a neat Where to Buy guide with a ton of retailers that'll have pairs stocked on October 15. Plenty of raffles are open right now and we'll be keeping this guide updated as more surface.

London’s Best Sunday Roasts

The Sunday Roast.

A meal so integral to our identity as Brits that the French literally refer to us as ‘les rosbifs’.

Something that – with the whole ‘frogs’ thing – we probably started.

Fortunately though we’ve come to wear our crown with pride, turning what began as a humble piece of meat and veg to feed the whole family into a food-driven cultural beacon representing the entirety of Britain.

It is London that reigns supreme though, and we’ve outlined exactly where you can find out why.

Behold, London’s best Sunday roasts:

https://thenudge.com/features/londons-best-sunday-roasts/

 

CENTRAL

Blacklock | Soho & Shoreditch

A Soho chop house opened by a trio of ex-Hawksmoor folk. Choose your meat – beef, lamb or pork – or don’t, and get the ‘All In’ which has everything, with all the trimmings, and is perfect for sharing. Their gravy is the best in London; we said it. And it’s all even better paired with one of their bloody maries or breakfast martinis. READ MORE

Details: 24 Great Windmill St, W1D 7LG | Sundays 12-6pm (9pm Shoreditch) | £16-£20 | Make a booking here
–

The George | Strand

A slip of a pub on the Strand that looks like it’s been ripped straight out of Tudor England, with mullioned windows, cosy nooks and a carving on the outside of a naked man chasing pigs. Unconventional farming methods notwithstanding, that pork (and beef, and chicken) is whipped into an excellent Sunday roast with crispy roast potatoes, springy greens and possibly the best cauliflower cheese in London.

–

Cora Pearl | Covent Garden

They also do a second sweet Y-Pud for dessert, filled with sticky, cinnamony apples and a big dollop of vanilla ice cream. READ MORE.

Butcher by day; communal, intimate steak eatery by night. Just like a restauranteering Batman. Chef Alex Szrok, previously of The Eagle in Farringdon, wipes down the chop table at 6pm, places 12 seats around it and – if you’re lucky enough to nab one – cooks whatever he feels like. READ MORE

For the adventurous. Sundays at The Jugged Hare see the likes of half or whole-roasted chicken with sage stuffing and bread sauce; 45 day-aged rump with horseradish; leg of mutton; roast whole grouse (with liver pâté en croûte and game chips); or – for the brave – the eponymous dish of jugged hare. It’s an old 18th century recipe that came from the original nose-to-tail philosophy; hare (here ethically sourced from Yorkshire) stewed casserole-style with red wine and a sauce made with the hare’s blood.

Details: 49 Chiswell Street, EC1Y 4SA | 11am-10.30pm | From £23 | Make a booking here

SOUTH

Coal Rooms | Peckham

If you’re looking for a great Sunday Lunch in Peckham, The Coal Rooms is just the ticket. Housed in a former ticketing office, right next to Peckham Rue station, it gently moves from cafe in the day – with fancy coffees & fresh pastries – to a fully-blown restaurant in the night. On Sundays they offer four varieties of a traditional Sunday lunch: 40 day-aged Hereford sirloin and smoked skin; smoked Cabrito goat shoulder; Gloucester Old Spot pork coppa & smoked shoulder; or, if there’s two of you, a whole spit-roasted Yorkshire chicken with lingonberry jam, and sourdough bread sauce. All roasts come with a side of beef dripping potatoes, roasted carrots, spring cabbage, courgettes, and Yorkshire pudding, as well as floods of red wine gravy. READ MORE

The Camberwell Arms | Camberwell

Dining at the Camberwell Arms is a test of willpower. Because you’re going to have to either starve yourself for a fortnight beforehand, or somehow hold back on the starter of pork fat and scotch bonnet on toast; the side of legendary crispy brussels sprouts with pickled red onion; or the roast itself – whether it’s the porchetta to share; the Hereford beef with ale and marrow pie; or the spit-roasted herb-fed chicken – if you want to have room for this bad boy. READ MORE

–

The Anchor & Hope | Waterloo

No great shakes from the outside, but one of Waterloo’s best restaurants within. The pub setting makes for a cosy atmosphere, and the roasts are top-shelf: seven-hour lamb shoulder to share, classic Highland beef, and roast skate slot into a lengthy Sunday lunch menu bookended by cheese soufflé and queen of puddings.

The Palmerston | East Dulwich

 

Get here soon. The lease isn’t being renewed by the landlord, and the place is sadly closing in June.

CONVERSE X FENG CHEN WANG – CHUCK 70 2 IN 1 HIGH QUARTZ PINK

https://www.highsnobiety.com/shop/product/converse-x-feng-chen-wang-chuck-70-2-in-1-high-quartz-pink/

Feng Chen Wang is back with a new interpretation of her outlandish two-in-one Converse Chuck 70. Known for her deconstructed style that continues to challenge convention, the designer’s work largely draws from personal experience to deliver conceptual projects that disrupt the status quo. Wang’s notorious two-in-one Chuck now emerges in a distinctive leather execution that mirrors cracked concrete, with the vivid graphic on the leather creating the illusion of the sneaker being sealed in concrete. Layering is the name of the game for Converse x Feng Chen Wang, as we find the iconic Chuck 70 blending two halves to make a whole. Double foxing and a stacked outsole split into four pieces further carry out the segmented theme. If you thought Wang’s two-in-one Chuck 70 couldn't get any bolder, think again.

“Medium Olive” Takes Over The Latest Nike Dunk Low Next Nature

https://sneakernews.com/2021/09/17/nike-dunk-low-sequoia-medium-olive-dd3358-300/

Nike Dunk Low Next Nature "Medium Olive"

Release Date: 2021

Color: Sequoia/Orange/Medium Olive/Sail

Mens: $110

Style Code: DD3358-300

Grade School: N/A

Style Code: DC9561-300

Over the past two years, NIKE, Inc. has made a concerted effort to improve on its eco-friendliness. Under the “Move To Zero” initiative, the North American conglomerate has reduced waste and carbon emissions across all of its segments, including product manufacturing. One of the achievements of this commitment has been more sustainable footwear, like the newly-surfaced Nike Dunk Low Next Nature replete in “Medium Olive.”

Created from at least 50% recycled material, the upcoming pair boasts a number of details specifically geared for the colder months of the year. Reinforced nylon sets the stage for the suede and leather overlaid across the forefoot, mid-foot and heel. Profile swooshes and upper heel panels indulge in a vibrant “Orange” color that contrasts the predominantly-“Medium Olive” arrangement across the sneaker. The Nike Dunk also includes a furry inner lining and insole, with the latter nodding to how any wearer’s feet will feel: “TOASTY.” Underfoot, the take on Peter Moore’s iconic design is rounded out with a white midsole and light gum brown outsole.

Enjoy official images of the pair here below as you await an official Nike SNKRS launch date.
