In a way, Camden Workshop is a familiar London story – a former industrial warehouse, in a popular part of the capital, reinvented into a tailor-made family home. The capital's rich urban fabric and ever-growing need for housing have led many creative owners and architects to explore repurposing non-residential structures and plots into dwellings – the results can be both characterful and design-led, honouring place and heritage, old and new.
