Television Centre, London W12

Every home tells a story. Your history, what inspires

you – it’s palpable as soon as someone enters a space.

Every story needs a beginning, and this one begins

with Haptic. Their collective sensibility, their history

and where they come from. From there flows a

warm palette of natural materials. This up and

coming practice has created a rich setting with an

architectural language rooted in their Scandinavian

provenance. The rest of the story is up to you.

Television Centre was the first of its kind.

A building solely dedicated to the industrialisation

of television programme production – ‘a factory.’

The complexity of the brief for the site in west

London did not lend itself to a simple architectural

solution. How to create a factory for television –

with interlinking plots and studios all under one

roof? It took vision and ingenuity. Television

Centre was devised from a determined architect

sketching a question mark on an envelope.

This moment of clarity informed the now iconic

circular form of Television Centre.

“Inside the circular block, which is like a huge hollow

drum, there is a grass lawn, a fountain and a golden

statue of Helios. Yesterday the statue glinted golden

in the June sun and the waters of the fountain echoed

against the walls of the circular building.”

The Guardian, 1960

Not long after the building opened, Queen Elizabeth II

herself visited Television Centre. She toured the design

department and was introduced to members of the

production team. It was 1961 and large-scale television

production was just getting started. Television Centre was

born from that optimism, and soon became a symbol of it.

For the next 50 years, images of Television Centre were

broadcast into the living rooms of millions of homes around

the country, and then the world. The most important

thinkers, artists, political figures and entertainers have

walked these halls. With programmes including Doctor

Who, Monty Python and Top of the Pops, Television Centre

soon became an icon for modern Britain.

The Penthouse by Haptic is part of the next chapter for

this building’s legacy.

For half a century, the nature of Television

Centre as a broadcast headquarters meant it

was entirely closed off to all but BBC employees

and television programme guests, from the

worlds of sport, politics and entertainment.

Now for the first time in its history, it has opened

its doors to become a new destination for living,

work and entertainment in west London.

(10)

This very lobby, previously

known as the stage door, is

where the BBC’s many illustrious

guests entered the building,

its features now restored to

their modernist glory.

Today, the main lobby and

its 24-hour concierge team

give a warm welcome to

everyone that lives and visits

this magnificent building.

The Grade II-listed Helios, a mid-century

modern masterpiece, has undergone

a transformative refurbishment.

Echoing the sumptuous curve of the

original mid-century building, the Crescent

is a newly completed, contemporary

counterpoint to the historic Helios.

The penthouse by Haptic, with terraces

on three sides and views towards the

West End, is imbued with the heritage of

Television Centre and tells its story anew.

T H E A R C H I T E C T S

Haptic are a team of two dozen architects based

in London and Oslo, led by Tomas Stokke,

Scott Grady, Timo Haedrich and Nikki Butenschøn.

It only takes one look at their projects around

northern Europe to understand that an intrinsic

familiarity with Scandinavian design rigour

underpins their methodology.

(14)

Scandinavian architecture is renowned for its

warmth. What better way to battle the dark

Nordic winter, than with glowing light and

cosy timber interiors? Haptic brings those

same design principles to London, creating

spaces that feel intimate and inviting.

The word “haptic” relates to the sense of

touch – and that’s a key design principle that’s

often overlooked. An environment should

look good, but it must feel good too. Haptic

addresses tactility through natural materials

that are comfortable to interact with, and

pleasing to the touch.

“We use wholesome

materials to create a familiar

sense of luxury.

At Television Centre,

it balances beautifully with

the existing mid-century

architecture.”

Tomas Stokke

Haptic’s inspiration, Oslo’s Opera House,

appears as though it was carved from the

Nordic landscape. From the outside, its elegant

form dips dramatically into the sea. And

inside, an equal sense of drama is created by

illuminated timber panelling. This combination

of solidly-hewn natural forms and warm

interiors make it a benchmark of contemporary

Scandinavian architecture and the inspiration

for Haptic’s Penthouse design.

“Snøhetta’s design for the Oslo

opera house is imposing and

intimate at the same time.”

The use of timber in the penthouse by Haptic

is a beautiful way to connect the living space

with nature, to the tranquillity of the forest. But

there are many benefits to such a nature-inspired

design. Sturdiness and timelessness, of course,

but also warmth and familiarity.

The penthouse by Haptic at Television Centre is

underpinned by elegant simplicity. Considered

space planning, a rational layout and materials

that are inviting to the touch. The three-bedroom

apartment is drenched in natural light, with a

generous wraparound terrace.

(24)

The living area is characterised by the

chevron-cut patterned flooring, crafted from dark

douglas fir planks and heated from below.

Like the imposing timber panels in the Olso

Opera House, a similar approach is taken here,

but articulated with large format porcelain tiles.

45 44

(25)

In the kitchen appliances are integrated or tucked away entirely, celebrating the Carrara marble island and backsplash as a focal point. Concrete flooring defines the space within the utility cube.

(26)

At the heart of the penthouse is a concrete cube that contains all utility items. This clever method of space planning creates an open and uncluttered living space that can be flexibly managed around it.

The materials get a little softer in the private areas of the home. In the bedroom, plush carpeting underfoot.

(29)

The design language extends here to the master bathroom,

with large-format bronze porcelain wall tiles offset by a

warm timber vanity unit and cool marble sanitaryware.

A generous wraparound terrace brings

the living space into the outdoors,

and in the warmer months serves as an

extension of the living space.
