We recently launched a new Property Collections feature on The Modern House website, reflecting the diversity of Britain’s modern architectural heritage. As well as the best one-off Modernist houses, the Collections cover loft apartments, conversions, plots of land, new homes, flats on the Barbican Estate, Span houses, and much more.

Each week in our new ‘Spotlight on’ series a member of The Modern House team will select their favourite properties – past and present – within one of the Collections categories.

This week our Founding Director, Matt Gibberd, has selected three of his favourite Loft Apartments previously sold by The Modern House …

Tudor Road, London E9
This exciting live/work apartment is quietly situated on the top two floors of a converted factory between London Fields and Victoria Park. It has a light-filled and highly engaging interior, with exposed concrete ceilings, steel trusses, huge original Crittall windows and a double-height mono-pitch roof with skylights.

Great Guildford Street, London SE1
A truly fantastic one-bedroom conversion of refined and unique character situated on the third floor of this impressive and recently renovated Victorian warehouse. The apartment has a triple aspect, with large original sash windows running all along the south side of the building, bringing considerable light into the open-plan configuration. The much-celebrated interior of the flat was the result of a collaboration between designer Ilse Crawford, Belgian architect Vincent Van Duysen and 6a Architects.

Bruton, Somerset
This remarkable apartment in the centre of the picturesque town of Bruton forms the upper part of a converted 1940s grain mill. The highly-regarded London-based architect Paul Fineberg has carefully and extensively configured the space to provide a spectacular main living room, with wonderful views across the town and surrounding countryside, and up to four bedrooms.
