Gin Distillery, Whitechapel

Working alongside my husband who is an architect, we together designed, built and did the interior design at this old Gin Distillery, which was our family home for several years.

“The Gin Distillery is a wonderful example of contemporary architecture patched together with considered heritage reclamation and restoration. A project of palimpsests with the richness of the original Victorian building complimented by the quality of the contemporary interventions.” RIBA London 2018 award judges.

We were delighted to win a RIBA London award and to be longlisted for RIBA House of the Year. As part of this nomination, we were featured on Grand Designs with Kevin McCloud.

We sourced all the furniture for the warehouse on a tight budget. Vintage pieces were found by trawling a range of places such as antiques markets, Gumtree and eBay.
