Leonard Street, Shoreditch, London EC2

Behind the Victorian red-brick façade of Galaxy House, this light-filled apartment unfolds with quiet confidence. Expanses of warehouse glazing draw the skyline inward, while structural columns and warm timber floors create a measured architectural rhythm. The result is a home that feels both industrial and composed — a considered retreat positioned above one of Shoreditch’s most creative streets.

The principal reception space is defined by a dramatic run of warehouse windows that frame open urban views while drawing natural light deep into the interior. Structural columns and clean-lined finishes lend a quiet rhythm to the room, creating an atmosphere that feels both gallery-like and deeply liveable. Warm timber flooring softens the industrial framework, allowing the space to sit effortlessly between warehouse heritage and contemporary design.

A considered open-plan kitchen integrates seamlessly into the living environment, maintaining visual calm while remaining highly functional. The accommodation unfolds with equal balance: a generous principal bedroom with en-suite shower room, a second double bedroom of excellent proportion, and a further bathroom, all arranged to maximise privacy and flow.
