Lexicon is a celebration of a city. A city of great architecture, movement and spectacle. A city of landmarks and arrivals.
Lexicon heralds The Angel and Upper Street, and somewhere less expected: a whole other set of surroundings – by the waterside.
City Road Basin was part of Regent’s Canal and once a vital distribution point for goods into London. Now it’s the setting for a wave of new architecture, homes and public spaces.
Lexicon is the gateway to this burgeoning canalside community. A public piazza draws you in from City Road. A pair of lower-rise buildings enclose a green, wooded oasis with shops and cafes on either side, and offer a link between dockside warehouses of old and the sleek, modern tower that is Lexicon’s centrepiece.
Delivered by SOM, the architects behind Dubai’s mighty Burj Khalifa, the Lexicon tower talks a different architectural language to the typical apartment tower. Slender by design, rising like a prism from the waterside, its character is smooth and crystalline.
Form is everything. An innovative curtain walling system clothes the building, unruffled by edges, seams or superfluous decoration, and dresses every apartment in floor-to- ceiling glass.
A landmark for a treasured waterway. A new welcome to a great London neighbourhood.
