This one-bedroom penthouse, measuring 61 m² (657 ft²), is among the larger homes featured on Living in a Shoebox. It boasts clever space-saving features and has been converted from a former water tank atop Keeling House, a notable Modernist residential building in London. The apartment includes modern amenities and offers a unique living experience.
The open-plan reception and kitchen occupy the 17th floor, featuring full-height glazing on both sides with views to the east and west. The glazing is partly frosted and partly louvered for planning reasons, creating framed views of the surrounding city. This design provides a remarkable visual experience while maintaining privacy and adhering to regulations.
The aesthetic is deliberately functionalist, featuring walls and ceilings made from OSB (oriented strand board) and polished micro-cement concrete flooring.
The German flat-pack kitchen continues this functionalist aesthetic, seamlessly integrating with the OSB walls, ceilings, and polished micro-cement concrete flooring.
The bedroom is on the 18th floor and features a raised OSB bed with a child’s bed underneath and built-in stepped storage alongside. It faces east, allowing you to watch the sunrise from bed, and includes an opening rooflight for stargazing.
Built-in storage in the staircase leading up to the bed
The bathroom is on the western side, offering views of the sunsets. A freestanding Italian square bath doubles as a shower and features a vertically sliding tap.
The apartment is being marketed by The Modern House and can be yours for £550,000 (approximately $714,000).
