A stepping stone to east London’s most exciting and artistic neighbourhoods. Ideal for creatives.
A home steeped in east London’s industrial heritage. Loft-style living spread across two, Douglas fir floors and framed with triple-aspect views. Bold hues, modern design and the sensitive touch of its renowned architect owner has transformed this former textile warehouse into a playful and inviting space. You’ll notice globally-inspired artwork as you move through your daily routine here.
An open-plan kitchen, reception and dining room takes over the very social first floor. Its free-flowing layout is as good for keeping an eye on wandering youngsters as it is hosting a dinner party. This space revolves around the streamlined, white Corian-clad kitchen, equipped with quality appliances that make entertaining a breeze. It’s versatile too. Perch at the island with a morning coffee. Clink glasses gathered around the curve of the bespoke dining table designed for maximum conviviality by the owner.
Architectural integrity keeps the quality of light at a high. Thanks to its south-facing position and vast, double-glazed square windows, golden hour is particularly ambiant in the lounge. The perfect spot for after-dinner digestifs or sink into the elongated Mags sofa and get lost in a thriller –an overhead projector and hi-fi speakers take movie night to another level. Next door, a bedroom designed with young ones in mind – low-level doorhandles and a bed that guards against night-time turning.
Upstairs, thoughts turn to recharging. On this level, the palette of primary colours challenges the conventions of magnolia walls and understated minimalist décor. The dual-aspect master bedroom is all diaphanous light, citrus-yellow Bisk radiators and raspberry-red carpets. The halo lighting is particularly atmospheric in the evening. It is served by an ergonomic, Spanish-tiled en-suite with an exposed brick shower. Two further bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom with a dual vanity.
