Since the mid-nineties much gentrification has occurred within Shoreditch, however the urban fabric remains gritty.

The bedroom is within an aged and distressed building fabric with a mixture of newer, more luxurious artefacts. The walls, floor and ceiling reflect something about the urban condition, whilst the loose furnishings offer comfort.

• Raw plaster walls and a painted concrete ceiling create the room shell
• A semi-circular glass shower creates a focus in the bedroom
• The built-in 2m x 2m bed is constructed from old reclaimed floorboards
• There is a long desk for work, and a purposely-distressed carpet underfoot
• A screen-printed artwork shutter slides into place to cover the window
• Carefully collaged loose furnishings suggest a quirky juxtaposition with the distressed aesthetic
• The result is a room that has a story – it feels authentic and personal
