DeHavilland Studios
Two storey 2500 sq ft live/work penthouse loft in Owen Williams designed former DeHavilland aircraft factory. Modernist white open-plan double-height volume articulated by a rhythmic cadence of windows is in complementary contrast with the dark highly-figured natural timber elements.
Bespoke furniture and moveable screens allow fluid re-arrangement of the space. Clerestory windows provide maximum natural light.
“... a must-see, this elegantly designed minimalist penthouse has extraordinary timber detailing throughout, giving a warm inviting character to the deceptively simple sequence of generous open-plan spaces, ample natural light and views, it’s worth the trip to Upper Clapton...”
