Helios House

Curved Screens and Fireplace in White City

A contemporary, Luxury Home centred around the curve of Television Centre complex. Brass Inlays and Screens define the curve, at the centre of which sits a statue of Helios, the Greek God of the Sun.

Helios House is an RIBA Award Winner

Helios House is a sustainable, top-tier, cutting-edge apartment complex integrated into Television Centre, the iconic, former BBC headquarters. The designs by our award-winning London architects pay homage to mid-century form, drawing inspiration from light and curve. The apartment walls subtly echo the curves of the Helios, a centrepiece of the complex, while innovative perforated screens filter sunlight and enhance privacy. These residences offer spacious, high-end living spaces with meticulous attention to detail, all housed within a revitalised British broadcasting icon, a true testament to mid-century architecture.

CRAFT : Reinforcing the Radii

The design for Helios House is influenced by the original Television Centre’s circular structure. The internal walls and brass flooring trim form concentric rings, alluding to the central Helios statue. This approach integrates the iconic features of the building, creating a harmonious, sustainable blend of modern living spaces within a historic architectural context.

LIGHT : Detail and Experience

Helios House has a keen focus on materials that allow the recurring brass detail to take centre stage. This deliberate choice not only pays homage to Helios, the renowned god of the sun, but also reflects our unwavering passion for harnessing natural light and creating exceptional experiences within architectural spaces. By selecting and integrating this material, we aim to enhance the luminosity of the apartments, establishing bespoke interiors and a seamless visual connection with the Helios statue. We met our goal to create a space that celebrates the interplay between light, materials, and the human experience, ensuring that Helios House becomes a true testament to our dedication to craftsmanship and design excellence leading to a coveted RIBA National Award.
