건축가 에밀 이브는 런던 동부 쇼 디치에 위치한 빅토리아웨어 하우스 건물 안에 로프트 하우스를 현대적으로 탈바꿈시켰다. 원래 이 곳은 창고 단지 내에 있던 9개의 아파트 중 하나인데, 해크니를 기점으로 한 스튜디오가 만들었다.
건물의 벽돌, 목재 및 열노출과 산업 미학을 보존하기 위해 아파트 전체에 걸쳐 복원작업을 진행하였으며 현대적인 세부 사항을 위하여 금속 마감재, 타일, 목재 가구 및 부속품 등이 추가되었다.
유리 벽돌, 노출 목재 구조, 역사적인 단점들이 지닌 기존의 특성들이 원래 기능을 회복하고 복원된 형태-라며 이번 작업을 진행한 에밀 이브는 설명하고 있다.
Emil Eve Architects has paired original details with contemporary finishes in this loft apartment, which it created inside a Victorian warehouse building in Shoreditch, east London.
The apartment is one of nine created by the Hackney-based studio within a former warehouse complex in Shoreditch.
The five interlinked warehouses have been reconfigured and renovated to create a suite of 16 apartments in total, with a commercial space at ground level and a garden on the roof.
The two-bedroom flat sits on the fourth floor – the top level of the block – and faces onto Charlotte Road.
The building's brickwork, timbers and columns have been exposed and restored throughout to preserve the industrial aesthetic.
But contemporary details have also been added in the form of new metal finishes, tiling and built-in timber furniture and fittings.
"Original features such as glazed brickwork, exposed timber structures and historic quirks have been retained and restored," said studio founders Emma and Ross Perkin.
"Contemporary detailing compliments these elements of the building's industrial past to create warm and welcoming interiors with a palette of rich textures and materials," they added.
Inside the apartment, a large open-plan lounge and dining area have been created alongside a mezzanine library and floor-to-ceiling oak bookshelves.
