A striking mezzanine and disco-friendly dining areas...what more could you want?
James MacNamara fell in love with this listed Victorian building in north London as soon as he walked into it.
The double-height space and massive arched windows opened up endless possibilities, and he interviewed 16 architects and spent a year sorting out planning breaches before he started work.
'In its time it's been a school, a ballroom and an illegal nightclub,' he says. 'I loved its scale and impact, but I also wanted to create quiet, intimate spaces within it.'
The solution was a set of bespoke shutters that close off the mezzanine level. In addition, each area of the main living space is individually lit, creating warm 'rooms' of light.
Want to see inside? Take a house tour and steal James and wife Miranda Edgley's grown-up sense of style.
