From the agent: "This beautiful one-bedroom apartment is situated on the ground floor of a landmark project by renowned architect Amin Taha. The building lies within the Dalston conservation area between a Victorian townhouse and a red-brick Edwardian school. The exterior, with its brick cladding, enormous windows, and jutting wicker balconies, offers an intriguing transition between its neighbors. The building was constructed using cross-laminated timber (CLT), which provides a sustainable alternative to concrete and steel, acting as both a structure and an internal finish. The building was a winner at the 2016 Hackney Design Awards and was shortlisted for the 2017 RIBA Stirling Prize."
