Houzz Tour: A stylish American Conversion warehouse in Shoreditch - conversion of a former Victorian warehouse of a commercial space in a luxury apartment created a number of challenges and interesting possibilities. 'The top floor of the building was basically a wooden shed, said Gideon Purser Chris Dyson Architects, who worked on the project as part of a team of the firm. "Removing this gave us the chance to create a whole new ground with plenty of outdoor space, but at the same time, we wanted to stay true to the building's history. So we designed the first floor around the openings and stairs of existing windows, then worked to make the old and the new cast in the other. "
As the top floor lent itself to be an open space running down the terraces, Purser decided to rooms on the first floor and, unconventionally, the living room above site. "The design much better suited to this arrangement," he explains, "and this means that owners get so much use of outer space.
