The Haydon shows off its dramatic stepped volume and triplex penthouse

The Haydon's distinctive shape is not an architectural whimsy – rather, its angles, recesses and cantilevers were carefully calculated to ensure each of its apartments gains an abundance of natural light and air, as well as outdoor space. At the same time, its elaborate metal panels are a nod to the metal chainmail aprons and gloves used by the butchers historically working in nearby Butchers Row.
