I recently had the pleasure of spending the day at
Twelve Studio, an interior and graphic design company located in the heart of Clerkenwell.
Housed in a former school house, the design studio is quite literally "old school", and as cool as they come.
Upon entering the offices and passing through a small foyer, you arrive in a large hall, which in it's position (central and surrounded by glass enclosed studio space and meeting rooms), feels very much like the spine of the space.
The rectangular room is furnished simply, yet stylishly, allowing for one to take in the skylights, and vaulted ceilings above. Meanwhile, wooden beams, original brick walls, and glossy herringbone wood floors supply warmth to the stunning space.
Drinking in the great bones and architectural features of the building, I started to think about alternative uses for old schools. I began to envision living in a similar space, and after just a few minutes of internet sluething, I soon realised I wasn't the first to have this thought.
Would you feel comfortable calling an old school home? I couldn't think of anything better.
Top to bottom gorgeousness- literally- those ceilings and that floor?! We almost bought a condo once in old converted school. The sale didn't go through :-(, but I always loved the idea.
