From £675,000: two-bedroom flats at Monohaus in Hackney

Super-fit Hollywood actress Kate Hudson has arrived in London’s Hipsterville — Hackney, that is. Her POPfit dance-and-fitness studio chain, to be precise, has found a place in the increasingly trendy north London borough.

The so-called “lifestyle brand” has opened at Monohaus, a new scheme of 47 flats plus offices that claims to “blur the boundaries between home and work”.

What used to be a scruffy industrial spot between London Fields and Mare Street is now a haven for beards-and-skinny-jeans fans, with designer homes and workspaces, ateliers, a craft beer outlet, vinyl music shop, artisan bakery and Nordic café selling avocado on toast like hot cakes.

The building’s stark black and white look suits the site (the clue is in the name), while a central glazed atrium at Monohaus acts as a communal courtyard, with seating and shops by the residents’ entrance.

Loft-style apartments with full-height windows have polished concrete floors, Poggenpohl kitchens, underfloor heating, a Sonos smart home system plus a balcony or terrace.

Two-bedroom flats from £675,000. Call 020 7043 8888.
