" This striking one bedroom apartment is part of a RIBA award winning warehouse conversion by vPPR architects. Completed in 2016, the building has an enviable location on Redchurch Street, in the heart of fashionable east London.

Designed to a very high standard, the apartment consists of an open plan living and dining area, a kitchen, a double bedroom and a tiled bathroom with utility area. There are high ceilings, lighting by Zumtobel and underfloor heating throughout. The living space looks out onto Redchurch Street and has the original Crittall windows and secondary glazing. Lovingly referred to by the current owners as ‘The Library‘ there is lots of space for book lovers but these are easily removed if you‘re more of a minimalist. The kitchen is made up of white units with stainless steel work top and built in Siemens, Neff and Bosch appliances. The flat has ‘passive ventilation‘, a modern system that works quietly in the background to ensure all the rooms remain fresh.

The residential part of the building is accessed through a discrete and highly secure entrance on Chance Street that opens into an elongated courtyard, planted with mature silver birch that forms an internal ‘street‘. One of eight homes in the building, the apartment is on the second floor which is reached via stairs or a lift.

vPPR Architects was set up in 2009 by Tatiana von Preussen, Catherine Pease and Jessica Reynolds, and is an award winning practice known for their bold designs. Inspired by design from both the UK and the US, we believe that architecture can and should be brave through simple, honest clarity, while still responding to local history and context.
