Within a former warehouse adjacent to Kingsland Viaduct 6 apartments were created from the existing building shell and 5 apartments created within a light-weight extension which floats above the existing historic structure. The industrial feel of the building coupled with the ceiling volumes and generously proportioned geometric window spaces strongly suggested loft-style living spaces. Metal louvre panels articulate and control natural lighting to the building’s external envelope and irregular shaped roof lights disperse overhead natural light.
