#industrial loft london

[hometoursandotherstuff]

You know how I love my industrial lofts, so thanks to Ingek73 for sending this fabulosity in London. It's been used in the past as a studio/workshop and planning permission is now granted for a three bedroom residential dwelling. But, right now, it already has 2bds, 2ba, and is perfect just the way it is. £1.5M / $1.858M.

I love it- an exposed brick wall, and there's possibility in that upper loft. Look at the skylight- would be a great little art space.

Across the way is loft with a little chalet vibe.

This is kind of set up like my apt. The kitchen is under the loft. Cute. Look at the little skylight that looks like a window.

The view from the kitchen.

There's a table for 2, but you can fit a larger table in this space, and you can put stools at the counter, too.

Up in the loft is the primary bedroom, right now. Beautiful skylights and beams that remind me of an Amsterdam apt. on the canal.

I would have to find a better way to store clothes- don't have the patience to neatly fold everything.

I think that the stairs in the kitchen lead to this room. It would make a great rec room- look at the brick fireplace and access to the yard. Looks like they're using it as a studio.

Here's one of the baths with a laundry area.

The yard is cute, it's a paved patio and pretty spacious.

When the owners of this London home considered the various ways to divide the space, an alternative occurred to them that wouldn't strike most of us - steel and slats! And so the architect couple constructed the various rooms of their home with interior steel frames and Venetian blinds.

TW: descriptions of sexual violence from the start

“For two hours he tortured me, his hands were everywhere. I thought rape was inevitable, I wondered whether I’d get out alive. We were in an empty property on a quiet cul-de-sac and he’d completely overpowered me.” These are the words of a female estate agent who was attacked by the seller of a property she had gone to value in Essex.

Hers is not a lone voice. Women in the property industry, who frequently visit empty homes alone — either to value them for sellers or to show prospective buyers around — are speaking out about the dangers.

Now, 30 years after the estate agent Suzy Lamplugh was declared dead (seven years after going missing on a viewing in Fulham, west London, with a man who called himself “Mr Kipper”) and 31 years after the Birmingham estate agent Stephanie Slater was kidnapped during a house viewing, women are saying it still isn’t safe to do their job.

Only 22 per cent of estate agents and letting agents, male and female, feel safe when on viewings, while 82 per cent say estate agent safety isn’t taken seriously enough — according to a survey of 150 agents across the country Allan Fuller an estate agent in Putney, southwest London.

The case of the estate agent in Essex, who spoke anonymously to The Times, was dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service last year, two days before coming to court. “I am furious, he had the money to hire a big shot lawyer. I feel let down,” she says. “It has been absolutely horrendous. It had a massive effect on my whole life: my relationship of 15 years broke down and I ended up on antidepressants and having panic attacks every time I went on a valuation.”

Although she has now moved agencies, she continues to work as an estate agent. “I thought, if I give up my job, he has won again — and I love my job.” However, she insists her female colleagues carry rape alarms, check in before and after house visits, and follow strict protocols about leaving doors open in properties and never getting into cars with sellers or potential buyers.

Fuller says: “There is a common misperception in the industry that ‘it won’t happen to me’.”

The responses to Fuller’s survey show that it does happen. One female respondent who works in the West Midlands wrote: “I recently valued a property and met with a man accused of domestic violence and I have never felt so uncomfortable in my life. He proceeded to show me an over-stair cupboard and said that there was ‘enough space for three dead bodies’. I left quickly after that.”

Other comments included:

“During a repossession the owner climbed into the loft and was threatening with a knife. Police had to taser him twice to safely remove him.”

“Carrying out a market appraisal with a gentleman who revealed he was due in court the next day to be charged with rape.”

“I believed a viewer was carrying a knife on a viewing, they were trying to get me into a certain room. The vibe wasn’t good, so I managed to email my office an SOS. Two members of staff came and pretended to be the next viewers.”

And: “I was covering a valuation and the person locked me in without me knowing and as I went to leave he went to hug me. I had to duck under his arm and unlatch the door quickly to get out.”

It’s not just on visits that workers are vulnerable, though. One estate agent told The Times how she was assaulted by a prospective buyer while working alone in an office in Oxford on a dark December evening. After being cornered, by the photocopier, she says she managed to “thump him in the windpipe” and run for help. He was arrested and charged. She now insists all her staff carry rape alarms and follow strict safety rules in and out of the office.

Fuller says he makes staff safety a priority too, sending his staff on self-defence courses — “one tip I picked up was if a man is making an unwanted move on a woman she should look as if she’s about to be sick, they soon back off” — issuing rape alarms, fitting CCTV and insisting that prospective buyers and sellers visit the office, verify their name and address, and are captured on camera before going on viewings.

Claire Lewis, 65, was an estate agent in Putney at the time Lamplugh went missing. She says: “Everyone was so shocked, we’d been getting into cars with prospective clients and going on viewings with men. It never occurred to us that anything could happen. That all changed and we suddenly became much more aware.”

However, she now worries for her daughter, Charlotte Dale, 34, a part-time estate agent in southwest London. “Generally things seem more dangerous for women even though they have mobile phones. Whereas in the past men acted in isolation — now they receive validation and encouragement on the internet,” Lewis says.

The estate agent from Essex, who was tortured for two hours, says she wants to see a national campaign to draw attention to the dangers: “Some estate agents seem to care more about protecting assets, with money laundering checks etc, than they do about protecting their staff. This has to change.”

Born on this day: decadent and charismatic German-Italian actress, model, scene-maker, style icon, “Lady Rolling Stone” and ultimate rock chick Anita Pallenberg (6 April 1942 – 13 June 2017). Pallenberg was an alluring occasional presence in art-y bohemian nightlife in early 1990s London. I recall her DJ’ing at the Horse Hospital once, and coming face to face with her when I opened the bathroom door (“I always need to pee!” she cackled). But before that, buried in the listings of Time Out magazine (in the pre-internet days when it was a dense essential bible that we all relied on), I read about a screening of Pallenberg’s old home movies in East London. It announced she would be present, possibly hosting or emceeing. The venue was a palatial industrial loft in Shoreditch (possibly someone’s apartment), just before gentrification went full tilt boogie there. I sat alone in the back and overheard people conferring that a vintage Cadillac had been dispatched to collect Anita. She arrived late and alone - and sat next to me! Pallenberg – looking just like she did in that 1995 Calvin Klein ad by Steven Meisel with that other ravaged countercultural survivor Joe Dallesandro – radiated elegantly ruined glamour. I never got to meet Nico, but this was a very respectable equivalent. We made small talk. As Pallenberg’s friend Marianne Faithfull describes in her autobiography, “She spoke in a baffling dada hipsterese. An outlandish Italo-German-Cockney slang that mangled her syntax into surreal fragments.” Pallenberg glugged red wine and chain-smoked throughout (there’s a theory she was one of the inspirations for Patsy Stone in Absolutely Fabulous). She also kept up a running commentary on what was happening onscreen (mostly images of herself – clad in Ossie Clark and vintage finery – and Keith Richards in the late sixties cavorting on their jet-set travels). At one point, things turned intimate – a seemingly post-coital Anita and Keef canoodling in bed together. The camera zoomed in on her naked breast. “That’s my neeeple,” she declared in her gravelly Marlene Dietrich voice. I can’t wait to see the upcoming documentary Catching Fire: The Story of Anita Pallenberg. Portrait of Pallenberg by Michael Cooper, 1967.

Thanks to Ingek73 for sending this 1873 school that was converted to  residential use in the 1990’s in London, UK. Some original features such as staircases, roof structure and fireplaces have survived. 4bds, 3ba, £1,450,000 / $1.837M +  £11,520 / $14,597 yearly service fee.

This is a different style from the one we saw yesterday. This one is more rustic/industrial and, of course, more colorful.

Look at the interesting railings. I'm surprised that the cat doesn't climb that.

Comfortable, casual living room area.

It has a modern fireplace built into the wall.

What a nice kitchen. Now, I can't decide which one I like better.

There's a smaller dining table in the kitchen, as well as one that seats 8.

That's nice, a fireplace in the kitchen.

What a cool bathroom. Very modern industrial.

Look at the shelving in the railing.

There's this net thing for the kids to play in.

Quite a lot of options regarding levels.

Nice small den has its own bathroom.

And a small desk in the corner of the mezzanine.

This is a large apt. b/c it has 4 bedrooms. The primary is nice and big. It overlooks the first floor and also features a window.

Very industrial cement and brick bath.

Sizable room for a nursery.

I wouldn't want to make this a children's room. Not with that gorgeous fireplace.

This is nice. The other apt. we saw didn't have any outdoor space. I think if I had to choose between the 2, it would be this one, even though I would buy the other one b/c of the sophisticated, smaller look size. I don't need this much space.

Discovering the Mysteries of Abandoned Mansions in London and Industrial Buildings Across the UK

Introduction:

London, with its rich history and architectural marvels, hides a secret world of abandoned mansions and industrial buildings waiting to be explored. From grand estates with tales of opulence to industrial structures with echoes of past productivity, these abandoned sites offer a glimpse into bygone eras. In this article, we'll unravel the stories behind abandoned mansions in London and explore the allure of neglected industrial buildings across the UK.

What Defines an Abandoned Mansion in London?

Abandoned mansions in London are typically grand residences that have fallen into disrepair and neglect due to various reasons such as financial difficulties, legal disputes, or simply changing times. These properties often boast intricate architecture, sprawling grounds, and a sense of faded grandeur.

How Do Abandoned Mansions Contribute to London's History?

Abandoned mansions in London serve as tangible reminders of the city's rich heritage, offering insights into the lives of affluent families, historical events, and architectural trends of the past centuries. They provide a link to London's aristocratic past and the societal changes that have shaped the city.

What Factors Lead to the Abandonment of Mansions in London?

The abandonment of mansions in London can be attributed to factors such as inheritance disputes, prohibitive maintenance costs, or changes in ownership patterns. Economic downturns and shifting demographics may also play a role in the neglect of these once-stately homes.

How Can Abandoned Mansions be Preserved?

Preserving abandoned mansions in London requires a collaborative effort between heritage organizations, local authorities, and private investors. Restoration projects, adaptive reuse initiatives, and heritage grants can help breathe new life into these historic properties while preserving their architectural significance.

What Stories Lie Behind Abandoned Mansions in London?

Abandoned mansions in London often harbor intriguing stories of former occupants, scandals, and tales of lavish parties. Exploring the history and folklore surrounding these properties adds depth to their allure and enhances the visitor's experience.

What Draws People to Explore Abandoned Mansions?

The allure of exploring abandoned mansions lies in the sense of adventure, curiosity about the past, and the opportunity to witness the passage of time firsthand. Urban explorers, photographers, and history enthusiasts are often drawn to these forgotten places.

How Do Abandoned Industrial Buildings Shape the UK's Landscape?

Abandoned industrial buildings across the UK reflect the nation's industrial heritage and its transition to a post-industrial society. These structures, once bustling hubs of manufacturing and production, now stand as silent witnesses to economic shifts and technological advancements.

What Types of Industrial Buildings Are Abandoned in the UK?

Abandoned industrial buildings in the UK encompass a wide range of structures, including factories, warehouses, mills, and power plants. Each building tells a unique story of its role in the industrial landscape and the communities it once served.

How Do Abandoned Industrial Buildings Impact Local Communities?

The abandonment of industrial buildings can have both positive and negative impacts on local communities. While neglected structures may detract from the aesthetic appeal of an area and pose safety hazards, their redevelopment can stimulate economic growth and revitalize neighborhoods.

How Can Abandoned Industrial Buildings be Repurposed?

Repurposing abandoned industrial buildings requires innovative thinking and careful planning. Adaptive reuse projects, such as converting warehouses into residential lofts or transforming factories into cultural spaces, offer sustainable solutions that preserve the character of these historic structures.

Conclusion:

Abandoned mansions in London and industrial buildings across the UK embody the passage of time and the evolution of society. By delving into their history, exploring their hidden treasures, and contemplating their future, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the architectural heritage and cultural significance they represent. Whether as relics of a bygone era or as catalysts for regeneration, these abandoned sites continue to captivate our imagination and inspire exploration.
