Ianeq is a Swiss electronica-focused DJ/producer, highly influenced by hip hop. As I found out, he has played in numerous clubs from Paris to London and set up his own studio, Square Meal, in 2001. He is based in Berlin and has been working on his Quarion debut album. I first became aware of his mixes on SoundCloud. I am big fan of deep vocal house and Ianeq’s Quarion is mainly focused on that.
I first saw this building as the penthouse residence of Russel Crowe in the movie “A Good Year”. I believe it came up again in “Match Point”. Both of the units were equally impressive. Set on the top floor, they are washed with light and filled with expansive river and city views through their curved floor-to-ceiling windows.
Located right across from Chelsea on the other side of the Thames, Albion Riverside was designed by the famous architect Norman Foster and was completed in 2003. Foster is well-know for his office building designs such The Gherkin in London and The Hearst Tower in New York. So, it is no wonder that Albion is mostly too cool to warm up to. Its ultra-modern look is completed with a glass/metal exterior and light tones of gray.
The first two floors of the 11-story building are dedicated to restaurants and shops. The top floor houses 12 duplex penthouses. 2 bedroom apartments start around USD 3m with penthouses reaching close to USD 20m. Each floor houses approximately 26 individual units.
