Advertisement Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 Hi biglouis, Take a look here Camden Early Morning. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
spylaw4 Posted October 6, 2006 Share #2 Posted October 6, 2006 Nice series Louis! You do of course know that the houses on the right were designed by Nicholas Grimshaw (or his practice, anyway)! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael-IIIf Posted October 6, 2006 Share #3 Posted October 6, 2006 Hi Louis, I live a few streets away from this but I'm never up and about early enough to see such beautiful light. Bet it wasn't this morning. Thanks for sharing. Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arminw Posted October 6, 2006 Share #4 Posted October 6, 2006 I've walked along the Canal many times, but never that early .. it looks very peaceful . Those houses on the right, I am not sure whether I like them or not? I would love to see what they look inside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael-IIIf Posted October 6, 2006 Share #5 Posted October 6, 2006 Those houses on the right, I am not sure whether I like them or not? I would love to see what they look inside. They're part of Nicholas Grimshaw's Sainsburys development from 1988. I think the supermarket is a great success and I loved these houses when they were first complete but I think they are starting to age badly now. Age, not in an aesthetic sense but physically they aren't wearing well. Inside is interesting, if I remember correctly they've got a small double volume area and a mezzanine. They do tend to change hands for more than the normal square foot price in the neighbourhood - so some like them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting what you say say about the price per square footage ... Next time I go pass them I need to look at the other side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the sale details of one not so very long ago. Regrettably the location is not right so we didn't view it, but IIRC the price was not out of line with the general area.

biglouis Posted October 6, 2006 Author Share #8 Posted October 6, 2006 Guys Thanks for the comments. I live very close by and when I got up on Thursday morning the sky was the most glorious red colour. I grabbed my camera because I knew exactly where I wanted to take the shot - which is on the bridge below Camden lock, next to Sainsbury's. I'd seen the possibilities a couple of days earlier. Brian, I did not know the provenance of the buildings on the right of the shot, so thanks for that. I think they look futuristic but a bit out of place; although in a way which adds interest to the shot rather than detracts from it. A lot of people like walking towards Regents Park on the canal from Camden but personally I think the walk from this point towards Kings Cross with all the developments going on at the moment is the most interesting. Thanks for looking LouisB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
