Residential Development, Shoreditch, London

Case Study

1 Aug

This rooftop addition to a Victorian warehouse in London’s Shoreditch was conceived as a contemporary glass box floating over the original industrial iron and brick building. Within this new area, two duplex penthouse apartments and two single bedroom apartments were created, with large roof terraces to the bigger units providing spectacular views across the city. The exterior street frontage at roof level is completely glazed, while the internal elevations are clad in light silver anodised aluminium panels. These reflect light down into a courtyard below, which is linked to the extension by a new lift tower at the rear.
