Textures are abundant inside this moody East London loft designed by Magma Architecture.

The two-bedroom live/work apartment spans two floors of a converted Victorian warehouse on Great Eastern Street in Shoreditch. Magma has transformed its interiors with the addition of a sleek stainless steel kitchen, curving island and custom shelving wall.

The living room boasts original patinaed floorboards, timber ceilings, and exposed brickwork. A wall of sash windows peeks north and south, and from here, an iron spiral staircase connects the double-height space to a mezzanine level tucked beneath the pitch of the building’s roof. This lofty nook is currently used as a home office but could also serve as a guest space and offers additional storage.

Explains the practice: ‘This spacious loft in East London uses compact pods to encapsulate the private areas and consolidate the building services while partitioning the volume into elegant rooms.’

Two large bedrooms are on the main level, with soaring ceilings, full-height built-in storage by B&B Italia, and a family bathroom.

The Modern House is listing the Shoreditch property for £1.8m. Take a look around in the gallery above.
