A striking architect-designed studio in Poplar, East London, set within a converted Victorian factory overlooking the Limehouse Cut canal. Spanning approximately 3,200 sq ft across three floors, the space combines raw industrial character with sleek, minimal interiors and a strong contemporary finish.
The main studio has a dramatic open-plan layout with triple-height ceilings, exposed brickwork, white architectural walls and mezzanine levels overlooking the central space. Large Crittall-style windows bring in natural light, while cantilevered balconies, split-level areas and clean white partitions create strong architectural lines throughout.
The kitchen has a darker, moodier feel, with black cabinetry, exposed brick, industrial lighting and a central island. In contrast, the main living and dining areas are brighter and more open, with soft neutral flooring, modern furniture, sculptural pieces and carefully considered lighting.
Across the studio, the interiors balance polished minimalism with factory details, including brick walls, steel-framed glazing, exposed columns and warm ambient lighting. Several seating areas offer different moods, from intimate lounge spaces with dark furniture and textured rugs to lighter open areas with views across the full volume of the building.
The bedrooms continue the clean modern aesthetic, with neutral tones, built-in storage, glass balustrades and views across the mezzanine. Bathrooms are sleek and contemporary, with textured tiling, glass showers, LED lighting and freestanding bath features.
The exterior retains its industrial heritage, with tall arched windows, brick elevations and ivy-covered walls.
