CONTENTSIt’s fair to say that East London has witnessed a few changes over the years. Successive centuries have introduced new eras, new people and new characteristics. From the 18th century French Huguenots who set up the silk weaving industry, to the 19th century boom of the docks, to the 20th century bombardment during The Blitz, to the 21st century young British artists (YBAs) who went on to become some of the most powerful names in global art, it is an area that has experienced a consistent transformation, much like the buildings that have occupied it.

In January 2013, we published the first issue of Cordy House in anticipation of the rebirth of an edifice which was an East London institution in the early noughties. From graffiti legends Shepard Fairey and D*Face showcasing their work to avant-garde theatre groups Punchdrunk and YouMeBumBumTrain hosting some of their earliest and most daring performances, Cordy House was a hub of creativity in East London’s then emerging and edgy cultural scene.

Over the last decade, the surrounding area in which it stood has fully transfigured into one of London’s most desirable destinations, attracting creative and corporate professionals alike. It is also home to some of the UK’s greatest names in art, design, music and fashion, many of whom we paid tribute to in our four themed issues.

So here we are, the final issue of Cordy House and although this is the last, it marks the beginning of a new era; the unveiling of an innovative new development – consisting of eight luxury apartments – which has been adapted to suit its surroundings whilst remaining true to its artistic heritage in retaining some of the original features, such as the artwork that made the building so thrilling to encounter during its glory days.

We would like to say a warm and wholehearted thank you to all of the hugely talented writers, photographers and illustrators who have contributed to Cordy House, and in particular to Mura in partnership with Aitch Group, who have made this project possible.

We hope you have enjoyed leafing through these issues, and will join us in welcoming the new Cordy House.

C utting straight through the centre of Shoreditch, Curtain Road acts as an appropriate starting point

for any jaunt through the area. Nestled in the heart of Hipsterville, the road can also be applauded for its cultural heritage. One of London’s first theatres was founded on Curtain Road in 1576 – making it the first permanent playhouse in Britain.

When exploring Curtain Road, a healthy amount of veering off is to be encouraged. But a conventional bottom-up approach is a good way to start. With this in mind, start early at the Queen of Hoxton (1-5 Curtain road) to bag a spot on the pub’s popular roof terrace.

Lee Broom, the London-based designer making waves (and his signature crystal light bulbs) recently expanded his studio to include a beautiful interiors shop on Rivington Street (95 Curtain Road). The work-sell space is worth a visit for anyone with a passion for modern design. While Curtain Road no longer offers a shop that sells exactly what it says on the tin, further home furnishings can still be found at SCP (135-139 Curtain Road) – the mecca for aspirational living accessories. Visit both while you still have your wits about you.

After that, stay on Rivington Street and head to Start, one of the most

comprehensive designer boutiques in London offering both men’s and women’s apparel. If vintage is more your style, turn back, rewind and head for Paper Dress (114–116 Curtain Road).

Once you’ve had your fashion fix, make your way to Mark Hix’s Tramshed (32 Rivington Street). Serving steak or roast chicken the restaurant is, appropriately, home to one of Damien Hirst’s giant embalmed cows and is great for group dinners. Be sure to ask about the Cock ‘n’ Bull gallery downstairs as they tend to have a rolling programme of exhibitions.

If hunger gets the best of you before reaching Tramshed, and you’re still looking for a meat-dominant meal, duck into Beard to Tail (77 Curtain Road), serving everything in between. If you manage to push past the pangs and make it to the end of Curtain Road then Tramontana Brindisa –Monika Linton’s latest London tapas venture – awaits, which also has an impressive gin cocktail list.

For drinks, there are almost too many options in this part of town. If spirits are high, make your way to Callooh Callay (65 Rivington Street) – winner of the World’s Best Cocktail Menu 2012.

For breakfast and brunch the following morning, there’s the quick and easy FIX (126 Curtain Road) for coffee and pastry, or, if you are looking for something a little more substantial, and you fancy a stroll, head to Beagle (97-400 Geffrye Street) – a restaurant founded by DJs and party organisers Krankbrother. Tucked under the arches at Hoxton Overground, it is an ideal spot for a slow start to the day, breakfast cocktail on the side, of course.

Tread the streets of East London whilst taking in the local landmarks – award-winning restaurants, bustling boozers and hipster hotspots, all a stone’s throw from Curtain Road.

LIVE EAST

Eye candy THE LOLLIPOP SHOPPE If you’re looking for a signature design piece for your home or office, this is your spot. Conceived as a ‘display window’ for fine design items – from heritage brands such as Vitra and Eames, through to upcoming and contemporary designers such as Established & Sons (a major platform for British design and manufacturers) – Lollipop Shoppe offers an experimental and uplifting mix. From easy chairs and loungers, to desks, low tables and lighting, their handsome collection is designed with ergonomics in mind, while calendars, accessories and storage units seriously up the eye-candy factor. It’s all designed to make life more enjoyable, and it works.

FOOD & DRINK

The nostalgics LABOUR AND WAIT Labour and Wait on Redchurch Street has become the prime destination for design enthusiasts looking for timeless pieces for the home and garden. An antidote to the ‘disposable design’ movement of the early noughties, Labour and Wait was founded by menswear designers Rachel Whyte-Moran and Simon Watkins. With a simple idea of selling functional and beautiful design products with enduring style, their collection includes canvas bags made from British materials, balls of twine, enamel lampshades and galvanised housekeeper buckets that tap into a sense of nostalgia. Already a favourite with locals, Labour and Wait’s fans now include actresses Sienna Miller and Keira Knightley, and author David Sedaris.

The dream factory UNTO THIS LAST Remember when furniture didn’t come flat-packed? Unto This Last does. Named after a line in John Ruskin’s 1860 essay on the necessity of artisan crafts at the height of the Industrial Revolution, this furniture shop is just off Brick Lane, and every item in store is made to order, in-house, on a digital router. Expensive packaging, transportation and warehouse storage have been dropped in favour of a back-to-basics approach: working extensively in FSC-certified birch plywood, items are made and delivered within the London area, avoiding the need for heavy transport costs. The result? Bespoke, artisan furniture that’s as affordable as mass-produced designs.

Subterranean blues NIGHTJAR Hidden under Old Street roundabout, behind an inconspicuous door, is the finest clandestine jazz and cocktail bar in the East, conjured straight from the pages of an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel. Music-wise, the bar hosts a refined roster of live jazz, blues and ragtime that recreates the atmosphere of a Prohibition era New York speakeasy. The cocktail menu is suitably matched, featuring 1920s-inspired drinks including Blood and Sand (Naked Grouse Scotch whisky, Cocchi sweet vermouth, sweet cherry, blood orange and mandarin, finished with liquorice) and modern signature drinks like the Kenko-Teki Swizzel (Nikka whisky, Akashi-Tai sake, green coffee, green tea, buckwheat syrup and alfalfa).

Best of British BEAGLE Named after the steam train that used to run on the original East London Line, Beagle restaurant celebrated its first anniversary last Easter. Located in the arches of the railway bridge next to Hoxton Overground station, the space has been lavishly restored. Head chef James Ferguson, formerly of nearby Rochelle Canteen, is pioneering a menu packed with British ingredients, including smoked middle white belly ham, sand sole, monk’s beard and cucumber and traditional puddings such as spotted dick. Seasonal is order of the day, with daily menus driven by local produce. The cocktail menu is also marked by traditional British flavours including nettle, ginger and rhubarb-infused liqueurs, plus tonics and British beers and wines.

The hidden gem THE ROCHELLE CANTEEN

Housed in a former school, the Rochelle Canteen on Arnold Circus is one of East London’s best daytime dining spots. Secluded behind a high red-brick wall in an old bike shed, the canteen overlooks a grassy playground, and is surrounded by a host of creative studios in the adjacent school building, including the headquarters of footwear label Mr. Hare. Owned by Margot Henderson and Melanie Arnold, the Rochelle Canteen features a delicious, though deliberately limited, menu of seasonal dishes, and is similarly compact in size. A hotspot for local fashion designers (and often frequented by East London’s celebrity alumni), it has an exclusive feel despite – or because of – its ‘hidden’ nature, making it one of East London’s best-loved lunchtime haunts.

Old and notorious THE OLD BLUE LAST As the official authority on ‘cool’, it’s not surprising that The Old Blue Last, co-owned by the guys at VICE, was labelled “the world’s coolest pub” by NME and dubbed “the cradle of British music’s future” by The Guardian. No pressure then. An early haunt of Shakespeare and later a den of iniquity (the building was a brothel during the 1970s and early 90s), in 2004 it was bought by VICE and refitted in 2010 after the Arctic Monkeys (and The Horrors) broke the ceiling (literally). With its high-spec sound system, it’s the best pub for live music in London (and does a decent pint of Truman Beers too).

38 Great Eastern St, EC2A 3ES // theoldbluelast.com

MUSIC

The music mavericks ROUGH TRADE Proudly and justifiably billing themselves as “independent purveyors of great music”, the record label and mecca for music aficionados the world over, Rough Trade has always put the music first. Launched by Geoff Travis in 1976, their second store in East London, designed by David Adjaye, remains one of the go-to places for all music enthusiasts. It has also evolved into a live venue that has hosted some of the UK’s best independent acts including Radiohead, Queens of the Stone Age and Paul Weller.

That’s entertainment WILTON’S MUSIC HALL Built just off Cable Street in 1828 under the moniker Prince of Denmark public house, The Mahogany Bar alehouse (named for its luxurious interior fittings) was bought by businessman John Wilton in 1850, who turned it into East London’s premier live music venue. As the 19th century progressed and East London became a notorious hotbed of vice, and poverty, Victorian missionaries turned Wilton’s into a Methodist outpost where, despite surviving the Blitz, it became derelict. Thankfully, Sir John Betjeman spearheaded a campaign to save Wilton’s from demolition, and in 1978 it was given Grade II listed status. Today, Wilton’s is undergoing a spate of renovation; re-opened as a theatre and bar in 1997, the building currently exists in a state of charming disrepair, displaying its eclectic history through its exposed innards and by its ongoing commitment to East London’s performing arts scene.

The French factor A.P.C. The French are known for being effortlessly chic, and no clothing brand exudes this more than Jean Touitou’s Parisian label A.P.C. (Atelier de Production et de Création). An adherence to simplicity runs across both its men’s and women’s lines, and staples such as men’s jeans have reached near-iconic status – a testament to the label’s sympathetic cuts and confidently understated style. Though A.P.C. is now stocked by the likes of Selfridges, its Redchurch Street store is filled with exclusive designs that make it worth the visit. 15 Redchurch St, E2 7DJ // apc.fr

Interior addicts HOUSE OF HACKNEY Unsurprisingly, East London is home to House of Hackney’s flagship store. Created in 2010 by husband and wife interior design duo Javvy M Royle and Frieda Gormley, this lifestyle emporium is a visual treat. Bold layers of House of Hackney signature prints interact across the entire product range, from luxury wallpapers – with names like Dalston Rose and Hackney Empire – to a furniture collection and their new menswear range. The store is beautifully curated, with all items made in England (or, where possible, right here in London).

131 Shoreditch High Street, E1 6JE // houseofhackney.com

Styles to suit PRESENT Compared with their female counterparts, menswear stores tend to go that extra distance to engage their customer and enhance their shopping experience. Present is perfect example of this. Launched in 2009, the store offers a staple range of menswear brands, from Orcival through to Burlington. Beyond the sartorial, they have a fantastic (curated) selection of magazine and comic book titles, beautiful stationary and cycle accessories. They also serve one of the best cups of coffee within a five-mile radius of the E1 postcode, bringing together separate elements that when combined make for an enriching shopping experience.

FASHION



Industrial luxe SHOREDITCH HOUSE Prior to being converted into what is East London’s trendiest private members’ club today, Shoreditch House on Ebor Street was an old tea warehouse (or a biscuit factory, depending on which source you read) built in the 1930s. In 2007, the Soho House Group, headed by entrepreneur Nick Jones, bought the space, and commissioned Tom Dixon’s Design Research Studio to revamp its interior. With a brief to combine the rawness of the former warehouse space and the grittiness of the Shoreditch urban landscape, there are characteristic ‘industrial’ touches, such as the buffed, stainless-steel light shades above the communal dining tables, and the clever use of light, amplified by a largely monochrome colour scheme. The revamped roof space reopened last year, offering guests the chance to swim above the hubbub of Shoreditch’s streets while enjoying spectacular views across London’s skyline.

CYCLINGPeddled goods CYCLE SCENE Cycling has taken off massively in the UK, due in no small part to the success of the national cycling team at the Beijing and London Olympic Games. East London has, for a long time, been developing a strong cycling community, and is geographically well equipped to satisfying the urban cycler, with canal-side cycling routes, an army of cycle-orientated stores – from café-cum-cycle-repair stores like Look Mum, No Hands and Lock 7 Cycle Café where you can grab a coffee and a fix a punctured tyre at the same time – and bespoke bicycle shops like Brick Lane Bikes and Tokyo Bike that sell the latest innovations in cycling technology.

Middle grounds THE GEFFRYE MUSEUM The museum explores the London middle-class home from 1600 to the present, whisking you through the centuries along a very pleasing series of living rooms. In effect, you’re seeing the same room as it changes over time, rather like Rod Taylor joyriding to the future in the 1960 film The Time Machine. The museum itself was once a row of almshouses built by the Ironmongers’ Company in 1714. Founded with a bequest from Sir Robert Geffrye, a wealthy merchant, the Grade I-listed building housed the elderly poor until 1911, when it was sold to London County Council. The Arts and Crafts movement persuaded the council to convert the space into a furniture museum to inspire local craftsmen, and so the Geffrye Museum opened its doors in 1914.

GROCERIES

No frills LEILA’S SHOP Leila’s Shop, just off Arnold Circus, is a community café and grocers who prepare simple and delicious seasonal food using their own-grown produce. At the heart of the café is an open-view kitchen and a country-home vibe which sits hand in hand with their delicious (but simple) rustic menu. From their excellent coffee (their espresso packs a real kick) to their range of Polish meats, Leila’s is a great place to grab a no-fuss breakfast (eggs and ham out of a skillet) or lunch in a wonderful, warm environment.

15-17 Calvert Ave, London E2 7JP // @Leilas_Shop

Creepy & Spooktacular HOXTON STREET MONSTER SUPPLIES The “Purveyor of Quality Goods for Monsters of Every Kind”, HSMS is a weird and wonderful store for “the living and the un-dead”. Resembling a turn of the century apothecary, the shelves are lined with Kilner jars of “human preserves”, blocks of earwax and tins of night terrors (inside which, you’ll also find a specially commissioned short story by Eoin Colfer.) Serving as the entrance to the Ministry of Stories – a not-for-profit organisation that encourages young people to develop their imagination and writing skills through story-telling, established by writers Nick Hornby, Lucy Mcnab and Ben Payne in 2010 – the shop is a wonderfully eccentric place to indulge your inner child, or inspire the ones you have with you.

CULTURE

MARKETSStreet life BROADWAY MARKET It’s no secret that Broadway Market’s revived Saturday market is the perfect place to find fashionistas, hipsters and the occasional celebrity whilst sampling some of the finest independent food outlets London has to offer. Now 80 stalls strong, the specialist food market features an array of traders selling quality cheeses, meat and fish, incredible cakes, as well as a fruit and veg stall that’s been trading from the same spot for more than 50 years.Broadway Market is an East End institution; more relaxed than tourist trap Brick Lane, and bubbling with a more localised (albeit, gentrified) feel. Perhaps what is less celebrated is its flourishing busking scene. Found on the corners of Benjamin Close and Dericote Street (and impromptu spots in between), lo-fi performers with double-basses, banjos, harmonicas and mics will perform ragtime, folk and acapella sets, the perfect soundtrack for East London’s trendiest, friendliest market.

I f your Converse were treading the streets of Shoreditch in the mid to late Noughties, they may

well have taken you to Cordy House, the kind of (sub)cultural hub that now makes seasoned hipsters go misty-eyed. The brains behind the operation was Garfield Hackett, 47, who transformed a lonely shell of a building on Curtain Road into an East London institution. Under Hackett’s stewardship, Cordy House hosted theatre groups Punchdrunk and YouMeBumBumTrain, graffiti legends Shepard Fairey and D*Face, and all manner of parties, art shows and photo shoots. All in all, edgier than an Escher.

“It all kicked off in 2005,” says Hackett. “Cordy House was then a dilapidated building owned by a property developer friend of mine. He asked me if I wanted to do something with it and I said ‘Why not?’ so he gave me the keys.

“We started off hosting little parties to fund the place. The first official thing we did was the Boy George Fashion Show. We painted a catwalk on the floor and Naomi Campbell was the first person photographed coming out of Cordy House.”

Hackett commissioned Shepard Fairey to paint the outside of the building – Fairey’s first street art in the UK – putting Cordy House firmly on the street movement map. Suddenly, every

For a few years, Cordy House was a magnet for artists in East London thanks to its transformation by Garfield Hackett. Hackett looks back on its halcyon days.

BUILDING ON COOL

WORDS WILLIAM EVERETT

ILLUSTRATION ANNA DUNN

street artist was clamouring for space inside Cordy House. “We just gave them a wall and told them to paint!”

Cordy House also became a breeding ground for immersive theatre, with Punchdrunk performing its first shows here, and YouMeBumBumTrain making its magic in the basement.

“YouMeBumBumTrain are massive now,” says Hackett. “They use hundreds of performers at a time. One time the police came during a performance. I had to lock the basement and pretend no one was there, saying ‘sssh’ down the stairs because we didn’t have a licence.”

“YouMeBumBumTrain were proper feral artists. Once I couldn’t find a piece the artist Jimmy Crane had done for Cordy House, so I went downstairs and YMBBT had cut it up to make something. I said to them, ‘You lot have to get out now, sorry’. They said, ‘Before we go, let us take you on our train’, so I agreed and it was so good I let them stay – it just blew my head!”

In 2008, Hackett’s friend was forced to sell Cordy House. “I got a phone call from my friend and he goes, ‘Listen, you have to get out of the building by tomorrow’. I said, ‘I’m not leaving ‘til I meet the new owners’. I told them if they kicked us out, they would have to pay business rates, as well as security and insurance costs. If they let us stay in the building we’d take away those costs as an arts charity. They agreed, and we carried on.”

Cordy House continued to break moulds and ruffle feathers until the new owners finally won planning permission to develop the building in 2009. Determined to go out with a bang, Hackett threw the mother of all parties on the Cordy House roof. “Have you seen the Adidas advert where they’re all jumping on the roof? That was inspired by our party.” All in a day’s work at the Cordy House that was.

For more information visit: www.arcademy.com

T o create a true icon you need to draw on the heritage of the area whilst also considering the ‘now’,” says Joe Edwards, an Architectural Designer at East

London-based design agency Arcademy, which has been responsible for transforming Cordy House into a nine-storey new build with exclusive apartments and media-style office space. We spoke to Joe to gain insight into the redevelopment, which is due to be finished this summer.

Cordy House (CH): How has the project developed since you took it on in 2009?Joe Edwards (JE): A lot has happened in East London since we started the project: the Olympics raised the profile of the area and the brief altered accordingly – initially we looked at the project purely as a spatial exercise, taking out anything that wasn’t needed and stripping it back to its structural fabric. Cordy House has gone through it all, from demolition, to excavation, and finally construction – it’s been a great opportunity to get the whole practice involved.

CH: How would you describe the style of Cordy House?JE:Curtain Road is where the City meets the East End. The style of Cordy House reflects this through its fabric, echoing the sleek city externally whilst remaining true to its structural origin throughout.

Ahead of Cordy House’s completion this summer, Arcademy Architectural Designer Joe Edwards talks about its transformation

– from spatial exercise to luxury multi-purpose landmark.

Going from glossy external tiles, interrupted only by strips of curtain walling, through to exposed concrete soffits and services – the two extremes are unified by junctions that have been meticulously considered throughout.High-quality finishes are offset by the exposed structure to create a building that offers functionality with a luxury edge.

CH: What were the challenges of the build? JE:Where to start! The Olympics meant the project had to be thoroughly programmed around controlled road closures – demolition needed to start inside out and middle down. The site is also locked on three sides by surrounding buildings which led to many challenging design considerations determining where new meets existing.

CH:How do you approach projects? JE:We take a holistic approach to design working through client requirements with engineers and local authorities to ensure the project not only works as a space, but also enhances its environment.

CH:What role does green building play into your work?JE:We take a ‘fabric-first’ approach to sustainable building design and believe it’s the design team’s responsibility to educate, not only the client, but also the end user on how to maximise the efficiency of a building. To make a real difference, sustainable solutions must be built into the fabric of a building from the outset. ‘Sustainability’ is still seen by many as a buzzword when really it should be a standard.

CH:How is the East End a unique place for you to work?JE:East London is incredibly versatile in terms of what it offers and as the area has developed, so has its desirability. There is a bit of everything here so it makes a really interesting place to design for!

From forgotten borough to boasting the hippest postcodes in London, the East End has risen as the city’s most unique cultural and creative hub. Property guru Henry Smith has seen it all – and with cutting-edge projects in the works, including the revamp of East End icon Cordy House, he says the best is yet to come…

EAST END evolution

WORDS WILLIAM EVERETT

PHOTOGRAPHY KRZYSZTOF FRANKIEWICZ

I f anyone knows about the new East London, it’s Henry Smith. Since the property developer founded Aitch Group in 1995, Smith has seen

his native East End evolve from a forgotten borough to belle of the ball. What was once a development no-go now boasts some of the most prized square metres in London, and he has had a front row seat throughout.

“When I lived in the East End it was all working class and still recovering from the Second World War,” says Smith. “Now it’s a hub of cultural and class differences with people itching to become part of one of the trendiest postcodes in London.

“The big difference I’ve seen is the perception and attitude towards the East End. Views have changed so much over the past 20 years it’s almost unrecognisable. The whole area has vastly improved, beyond my imagination, from bombsites and poverty to sleek offices and top restaurants and bars. Yet the East End has kept the same thriving community and buzzing atmosphere.”

Under his leadership, Aitch Group has built a diverse portfolio of commercial and residential property both in East London and beyond. And the best is yet to come if the group’s plans are anything to go by.

“In partnership with Mura Estates, our current projects include Now Bow on Fairfield Road, an exclusive development of 49 luxury designed apartments near Mile End; EdgeN1 on Cropley Street,

a mixed use development of commercial andresidential apartments near Regent’s Canal; and The Yard on Warner Street, a stunning development of 12 one, two and three-bedroom apartments in Clerkenwell. In West London, we have eight exclusive apartments on Shorrolds Road in prestigious Fulham. All these are due for completion in the next year.“Each development is unique. No two are the same, as they are each designed individually to suit the surrounding area. At the same time, each development must stand out.

“One of our most exciting projects is Cordy House. The cutting edge development will contain a large commercial space and eight luxury apartments in the centre of Shoreditch. Cordy House will use a diverse range of raw materials, and sit in one of London’s most up-and-coming places to live, work and eat.”

One principle that shapes all Aitch Group projects is sustainability. Smith treats the social, economic and environmental responsibilities of developing seriously. “Our buildings are designed to target a 20% reduction in carbon emissions. The fabric of the buildings is well insulated and constructed to a high standard of air-tightness to reduce the energy demand.

“Photovoltaic panels on the roof provide an on-site renewable electrical generation contribution, while Smart Metering systems are provided in our buildings to allow occupants to monitor their energy consumption.”

SUSTAINABILITYWhen designing Cordy House, we took a double-ended approach to the environment, reducing the overall demand for energy while adding sustainable generation methods.

To achieve this, the development boasts:

• Roof-mounted photovoltaic solar panels.• Building materials, windows and doors that exceed regulations for thermal insulation

and air-tightness.• Low-capacity bathroom fittings and A-rated appliances for reduced water usage.• NIBE F370 Exhaust Air Heat Pump - This is part of a new generation of heat pumps,

which have been introduced to supply the home with inexpensive and environmentally friendly heating.
