This architect designed one-bedroom apartment is positioned in Zander Court. Part of the Avebury Estate, a quiet, mid-century estate designed in the late sixties around St Peters Church in Bethnal Green. The optimistic post-war residential blocks have a piscine theme.

The owners have re-configured the 482 sq ft of internal space around a central structure that houses the bathroom, kitchen and concealed floor to ceiling storage spaces. This bold arrangement cleverly creates a light filled living space to the south and a tranquil bedroom and study area to the north.

The materials palette of poured concrete tiles, stainless steel and wood panelling echo the utilitarian facades of the building. The original Crittall windows have been retained and restored throughout offering elevated views over the estate’s communal spaces.

Broadway and Columbia Road Markets, with their wide array of restaurants, independent shops and cafes, are very close by. The green spaces of London Fields and Haggerston Park are also easily accessible. Some of our favourite local spots are Ozone Coffee for breakfast, The Marksman on Hackney Road for wine and oysters and Brawn on Columbia Road for supper.

Bethnal Green and Old Street Underground stations are equidistant, and Hoxton and Shoreditch High Street are both nearby for London Overground services.
