Set within the iconic Canal Building, this 900 sq. ft two-bedroom apartment underwent a comprehensive, architect-designed renovation by the current owner in 2018.
The main living area is expansive. It is defined by soaring 3.2-metre concrete ceilings, micro-concrete floors, and full-width Crittall windows with thermal blinds that maximise natural light. Light floods in, and air moves freely. After the intensity of London, this feels distinctly open.
A bespoke, split-level space sits elevated above the main floor, finished in engineered herringbone flooring. It's ideal for use as a home office, guest room, or studio. An industrial-spec soundproof folding partition by London Wall allows the space to be closed off or opened up. Separate when needed. Connected when preferred. The apartment is formally recognised as a live-work unit, offering flexibility for both residential and professional use.
The kitchen is a simple, lateral space with an unobtrusive aesthetic. It feels very much like a chef's kitchen, with duck egg blue gloss cabinetry and silver-toned fittings. A workable, functional space: perfect for entertaining and cooking, working harmoniously with the rest of the living area and cleanly lit by directional lighting.
The principal bedroom is a quiet and spacious retreat. It fits a king-size bed comfortably and continues the palette of warm wood floors and concrete textures. A vertical column grounds the space without overwhelming it. Lighting is subtle and integrated. Ventilation is handled by wall-integrated fans for extraction, cleaning, and cooling, with an additional ceiling fan for support in warmer months.
The shower room is minimal and elemental, with black honeycomb tiles set against exposed concrete. Sensor-activated lighting ensures night-time visits remain undisturbed.
Storage has been smartly integrated throughout. A tall bookcase and concealed cupboards that extend underneath the shower room greet you at the entrance. Hidden storage spans the underside of the upper level, with additional space beneath the bedroom floor accessed by a hydraulic hatch.
The Canal Building is one of East London's most established warehouse conversions. Residents benefit from 24-hour concierge, secure entry, and an allocated parking space visible from the apartment. Two communal terraces extend the living space: one looking out across the skyline, the other tucked beside the canal, edged by olive trees and lavender. The building has an active residents' board and a strong sense of community.
