This apartment in London doubles as a jewellery showroom

LUV Architecture have designed the interior of an apartment inside a building that was originally built between 1771 and 1778 by the East India Company as a warehouse to store goods imported from Asia.

Recently, a jeweller commissioned LUV Architecture & Design, to create a space that would be his apartment and showroom.

The apartment has been designed to have an open-floor plan, with the living area, showroom, dining and kitchen all visible to each other.

Behind the sofa, there is a long cabinet with a glass top that displays the jewellery items.

The wooden ceilings and metal columns have been kept to respect the original industrial past of this 200 year old building.

The kitchen is home to a large island, with bar seating, a small sink, and cooktop.

The appliances have been kept together to create a wall of stainless steel.

The apartment also has 2 bedrooms. This is the first bedroom with an en-suite bathroom.

The second bedroom has a neutral palette, with your eye drawn to the graphic rug.

The apartment also has a walk-in wardrobe, with each shelf lit up to nicely display the apparel within.
