The refurbishment of the Huguenot house in Spitalfield is merely another example of wreckage masquerading.
Turning some of the rarest architecture in Britain into Yuppie precincts is vile and filthy. What is worse is that they do it with the nod of English Heritage which is too lazy to list alot of the buildings which whilst architecturally rare are not rare enough.
But to see this lovely historical Rembrandt-style house turned into a modern place with skylight, carpeted stairwell, etc. filled with revulsion.
I did a show for Spanish tv in one of these houses, talking about the walks which I run around Spitalfield and the old Huguenot district. The light coming from the first floor window, through that blown glass, was something out of Rembrandt. As I sat there in the hall foyer I could see the refracted light. It was glorious. Pure Rembrandt.
The stairwells are to die for. Seventeenth century stairwells. Beautiful crafted oak.....curving, winding...but large steps.
