'I can't pretend not to be utterly seduced by this house. Louise has conjured out of a tired old factory building something entirely new - an introspective and elegant world all of its own. It might be slap bang in the middle of London, but it is totally hidden and anonymous'.
'Inside, it's about more than gizmos and gadgets. It has no views, but Louise has used all kinds of roof-light to illuminate every room, and she's made many of the internal spaces inward-looking and enclosed. I think the open-plan kitchen and dining area make the house feel very public, like a fashionable restaurant. But upstairs, behind those factory windows, the private spaces are more successful - exercises in subtle, understated glamour, a bit like a super-deluxe hotel. This is an escape from the world'.
