Where once silk mills, print works and confectionery factories made hay as the sun shone on East London’s industrial bloom, tranquillity now pervades. Wake up here, in this softly upholstered bed, among Victoria Park Village’s peaceful rooftops, with yesterday firmly behind you; rested and ready to embrace a new dawn. Swing your feet onto the smoothest oak parquet flooring, which presents the warmth of underfloor heating to your soles as you pad towards a corner window framed with industrial black steels. On a deep burgundy velvet stool —a playful pop in a calm sea of soft cream with monochrome accents—watch the blue of the London sky overhead growing in intensity with the rising sun.
In a minimalistic en suite, the simplicity of black and white symmetry is paired with creative ways of prioritising natural light, through frosted partitions, screens and skylights. Begin the day at an eggshell sink, beneath a gently curved mirror as daylight reflects on white tiles and polished stone. Floating wooden steps, suspended behind vertical steel rods that flow from the ceiling like harp strings, lead from your top floor sanctuary to a mezzanine study. Through floor-to ceiling-glazing, vines climb in green stripes up the atrium’s clay brick walls towards the open sky above. Below, a leafy courtyard garden is a secluded full stop at the end of this transformative corridor of light.
On a sculptural boucle chair at a gently curved walnut and oak desk, draw inspiration from the central well in front of you and the triple-height lounge showcased through the glass balustrade at your side. Descend another floor, this time down a black steel staircase permeated with rays of light from the many, glass doors and windows illuminating the warehouse’s original facade. A vaulted ceiling soars high above your head, liberated from the two storeys that previously obscured it from sight. Take time to daydream on a patterned daybed, In this breathtaking lounge, in this city of endless possibilities. Behind you, an open archway leads to a kitchen of exposed period brickwork and clean, modern lines.
Beneath a central skylight, lean against an island of forest green countertops with a surface of white, polished Silestone and read a magazine as coffee brews. This is a kitchen of discretion, where Miele appliances are carefully concealed. An integrated sink in the island’s pristine worktop is given away only by its gently arching, brushed steel mixer tap. An inlaid, ceramic hob is a sleek mirror of jet black while, above it, a state-of-the-art extractor fan is flush to wooden units. In the quiet, paved courtyard wrapped around the front of the house, enjoy an uninterrupted cafetiere. Ponder which of your favourite pavement cafes to visit for lunch, before strolling out of your gated enclave and into the village’s tree-lined heart.
Return home and prepare to relax in your very own spa. In a wet-room lined in polished stone, stand beneath a cool shower as the glass fronted, pine-lined sauna heats up. Listen to the instantaneous hiss of hot sauna stones raising cold water into clouds of soft steam, as you ladle it from a traditional wooden pail. Recline on warm wooden benches, remaining perfectly still and slowly inhaling the restorative vapours until your muscles and mind are fully at ease. Wrapped in a white, towelling robe, wander out to the courtyard to light a scented candle in the fresh, evening air, before settling into a cushioned armchair with slender golden arms. Around you, fatsia and bamboo leaves catch light from above.
As tiny stars begin to prick at the fading summer light, you make your way up, towards your bedroom. Pass by the opulent snug and bar, with their tables of polished, Travertine stone; through the stately dining space with its collectible, teak chairs and oak and Emperador marble cabinet; under the magnificent lounge window’s three rows of flawless glass. In the quiet of this main bedroom, you return to your immaculate en suite to pour a bath. The sun is setting somewhere behind another rooftop in the city, as you slide into the freestanding tub’s foamed waters. In this tranquil dusk you welcome the close of another day, knowing that from now on, tomorrow will just keep getting better.
