Roof Garden Apartment
This airy rooftop apartment located in London’s sought-after area of Shoreditch has been realized by the British practice Tonkin Liu. Built atop an old brick warehouse, the two-story family house boasts six bedrooms, a play area, a living room and a terrace. The house is entered via a bridge that comes from a neighboring building. The lower floor is divided into 5 bedrooms and a play area with a sunken conversation pit. All the rooms open out onto a terrace. The main living space is a tall room on the upper level. In the centre of the space a tower, housing the polycarbonate bathroom, rises up through the structure to bring in light. To the west the master bedroom can be closed off with a giant sliding door. A cantilevered balcony overlooks the city to the south. A spiral staircase leads up to the green roof.
