Gin Distillery, Whitechapel

Back in 2013, my husband and I purchased a derelict warehouse in the corner of a car park in Whitechapel. His architecture practice devised a beautiful scheme for this site, building into the original warehouse in a sensitive, understated way.

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.

"The Gin Distillery is a wonderful example of exemplary 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."
