Get their look: Designer’s mezzanine apartment

Designer's mezzanine apartmentcredit

This modernist mezzanine apartment is the stylish home of Malika Favre who we featured in last week’s Designer Desire post. It’s a penthouse apartment in Five King Edwards Road in Hackney, a converted Art Deco clothing factory.

Often, a mezzanine apartment will have lofty proportions and floor to ceiling glass doors or windows which allow light to flood into the space. This one is fortunate to have the addition of a wide balcony – a precious inner-city outdoor space for plants and patio furniture and a view out over neighbouring rooftops.

Vintage Ken Law Tower Bridge print | H is for Home

As we mentioned in yesterday’s post, we’ve just returned from a short break in London & Brighton. In addition to visiting relatives and generally being lazy for a few days, we also had to collect a picture we’d bought on eBay a while ago.

The subject matter of this vintage Ken Law print was very apt!

It’s a stylised Thames scene featuring the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, working boats and riverside buildings.

It’s stunning… the use of colour & tone and the distinctive block style. We’ve been fans of Ken Law for some time now – we have a Hampstead High Street print by him too – and there’s a fabulous depiction of a New York bridge that we’d like to get hold of sometime.

We hung it on the wall of the lovely 1960s London house where we were staying to photograph it. It looked so at home there! We almost felt guilty packing it up in our car for the journey up North.
