This astonishing former Edwardian workshop has been the subject of an exceptional architectural redesign by Martin Reynolds, creating a unique two-bedroom house in the heart of London Fields. The house unfolds vertically across four stories, hinged together via a floating, open-tread oak and steel staircase. The contemporary design combines a palette of simple yet considered materials, including slate and York stone, with extensive levels of glazing while celebrating and preserving the home's existing features. A luscious south-facing garden unfolds at the rear, planted with clematises and small fruit trees, and with a terrace perfect for eating alfresco.
