Tapestry has won a 2017 Schueco Excellence Award in the residential category. Judges stated that they ‘liked the beauty and proportion that the practice had brought to a deceptively complex project’ Steven Kennedy, the associate principal at Grimshaw said ‘ There’s an elegance there, a level of quality and attention to detail’.
Looking south from the roof garden, the view is framed by the ‘beak’ of the building looking south over Regents Canal and out towards the BT tower.
The concrete frame of the Tapestry (T1) building is approaching completion, with just two more floors to be constructed. This space on the 8th floor will become an outdoor roof garden enclosed either side by two level ‘townhouses’ and a tower to the north. The area will be open to residents and landscaped with trees and gardens.
