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 Nicola, PA to the Directors, has selected four of her favourite properties with Superior Interiors …

Wilton Way, London E8
This wonderfully designed one-bedroom apartment is part of a former print works close to London Fields in central Hackney. The apartment has been beautifully re-configured and re-designed to an exacting standard by the architectural and interior designers Bentley Hagen Hall. The design is discreet yet detailed, with a focus on pared-back natural tones. There is limed-oak herringbone parquet, elm-veneer woodwork and exposed-plaster walls throughout the space. The bathroom, in contrast, has a striking Tadelakt plaster finish and classic brassware and detailing.

Sherriff Road, West Hampstead, London NW6
Behind the late-Victorian façade of this five-bedroom terraced house is an extraordinary modern living space with significant spatial drama. The house was redesigned in its entirety in the 1980s by the architect Brian Muller, who stripped it back to the structural fabric of brick, joists and lath, and planted a tree that grows through the middle of the space. Huge glazed up-and-over doors flood the interior with natural light and allow it to be opened up to the south-facing garden, providing a seamless transition between inside and out. Metal service ducts and boldly exposed pipework are a nod to the High Tech movement pioneered by architects such as Norman Foster and Richard Rogers.

Middlesex Street, London E1
This wonderfully refined loft apartment is located on the second floor of a converted warehouse within a short walk of Liverpool Street, Spitalfields and the City. The apartment was converted in 1996 by the architect Rosamund Diamond, now of Diamond Architects, for a professor of fine art. It retains much of the character of the original building, with bare brick walls, timber floorboards, iron columns, loading doors and an old hoist mechanism.

The Clock House, Berriman Road, London N7
The Clock House is a brilliantly imaginative reworking of a mid-terrace 1960s townhouse by the architecture practice Archmongers. The house has been shortlisted for both the AJ Small Projects Award and New London Architecture’s ‘Don’t Move, Improve’ award, and has garnered considerable praise in the architectural press. It derives its name from the clock tile on the façade, which has been transformed with new windows, handmade tiles from a Cotswolds pottery and a copper letterbox.
