Everchanging

Peace 🍂

I’m rubbish at video editing so you’ll have to imagine I’ve inserted the “help is on the way dear, help is on the way!” sound from Mrs Doubtifre.

Also just for some added good measure:

He was still too young to know that the heart’s memory eliminates the bad and magnifies  the good, and that thanks to this artifice we manage to endure the burden of the past.

The magnificent conversion of a 1900s London brewery into a home. The Chris Dyson Architects won an award for the conversion. 

The building is almost 4,000 sq ft over five expansive levels, including a roof terrace.

It’s a combination of an industrial past and a marrying of materials, new and old.

Combining concrete, black steel and exposed brickwork the architects created a home that is warm and aesthetically attractive.

Double doors open to an open gallery, revealing a remarkable triple-height void beyond.

The kitchen is set behind an enormous island of Carrara marble with corian worktops and walnut cabinets.

A self-watering living wall rises two stories above the dining area with exposed red brick extending beyond that in the living room.

The design removed a large portion of the ground floor to achieve this dramatic opening.

Original columns and I-beams remain. 

Behind a glass wall is a cozy library.

Two of the 5 bedrooms share this bath.

This large shower room accommodates the other 3 bdms. 

A roof terrace occupies the third level, walls of western red cedar with a covered kitchen and BBQ area, counter seating, outdoor shower and WC.
