Very cool, eclectic and personal, lateral loft space taking up the first floor of an industrial turn of the 20th century sign manufacturing workshop in Shoreditch / Hoxton, three minutes walk to Hoxton Square, five minutes walk to Old Street underground station and twelve minutes to Liverpool Street main line and underground. Within three minutes walk are fantastic bars and restaurants.
The markets, bar and restaurants at Columbia Road, Brick Lane, Spitalfields and Broadway Market are all a short distance away. All of the Olympic sites and the West End / Oxford Street are accessible from the excellent local connections (20 minute bus journey / 15 in a cab to Oxford Street).
The flat is essentially one large room, with a three quarter height kitchen divider separating the living space from the bedroom, and from the bedroom, a door leading to a separate bathroom with bath and shower. The space has enormous windows on three sides – fitted with blackout roller blinds for when needed.
It is fully furnished with design originals including a super comfy sofa and a dining table that seats eight easily. The large loading doors at the end of the space can be opened to let the outside in. There is also an informal space on the New York style fire escape leading up to the entrance where one can take the sun and have a coffee on a nice day. Great mood lighting.
Available for rent at Airbnb, if you fancy 🙂

Just as one of the previous ones, this one is designed by Ike Kligerman Barkley architects. I’ve found it on the architects’ site, not too much is known about it apart from the description.
The open loft space splays out to fifty feet at the far end, while the roof‘s angular trajectory culminates in a 24 foot wall of glass through which southern light pours in to illuminate the space.
