Quebec Wins Style Award

The 2001 Hot Property style award has been given to Investland for Quebec Wharf. The article read as follows: For the stunning design from Investland that's sure to make Quebec Wharf in Kingsland Road, Hackney one of the most sought-after addresses in London. For their respectful and innovative use of the Victorian waterfront warehouse described by English Heritage as the best remaining example in south-east England of a canal-side granary. For the original features such as the heavy sliding doors, cast iron period radiators, double-height ceilings and exposed beams, perfectly complemented by the ultra stylish kitchens...imported from Italy. And for rising to the challenge of converting the space without dramatically altering the existing building, by bringing in natural daylight and ventilation without subdividing into traditional rooms.
