HKR Hoxton, Hoxton, London E2
Set between Dawson Street, Hackney Road and Scawfell Street, HKR Hoxton is a wonderful, contemporary new homes addition to the vibrant E2 London postcode. With its distinctive weathering steel framed façade, HKR Hoxton has quality of a landmark building so different from anything that surrounds it this thriving district, which is part of the City Fringe Opportunity area.
Completed in Spring 2021, the development comprises over 60 new homes including one, two, and three bedroom residences. Designed by Hawkins Brown Architects, it is developed by LBS Properties. ‘The scheme consists of a single building, U-shaped in plan, comprising two elements – a five storey podium and a five storey lantern tower above the plinth, set back towards the western side of the development. This combination of heights references the taller buildings in this part of Hackney, while addressing the scale of the domestic buildings on Hackney Road itself.’
HKR Hoxton is located in the London borough of Hackney, only two London Overground rail stops away from Spitalfields and the City of London.
