Unfolding behind the façade of a traditional Victorian cottage, this impeccable two-bedroom home has been meticulously executed by the current architect owner. Utterly contemporary in its interior nature yet simultaneously sensitive to its 19th-century origins, the home within has been carefully considered throughout. A simple, fresh palette of light tones allows the materials - terrazzo, solid ash, polished concrete - to take centre stage. There is an expansive garden at the rear, and the house is within easy reach of Dalston, Stoke Newington, Highbury and Islington.
