Vintage School Conversion – Duplex Loft, Hackney, East London

About

Located in Homerton, Hackney, this duplex loft occupies part of a converted Victorian school building, combining industrial structure with a more refined, lived in interior. Extending to approximately 1,290 sq ft, the space is defined by its volume, with ceiling heights reaching 4.2 metres and large north facing windows providing consistent, even light throughout the day.

The main level is arranged as an open plan kitchen, living and entrance space, where exposed brickwork and simple finishes create a flexible backdrop. The scale of the room, combined with the quality of light, allows for a range of set-ups, from lifestyle shoots to more controlled set builds.

Above, a mezzanine overlooks the main space, offering a clear vantage point across the set. This level includes a generous working area, currently used as a client or production desk, alongside additional seating and storage. The relationship between the two floors allows for layered compositions within a relatively compact footprint.

The property includes a separate bedroom and two full bathrooms, providing useful supporting spaces for productions. Underfloor heating runs throughout, and the building remains cool in warmer months. Blackout blinds are fitted to the main windows, allowing for a controlled lighting environment when required.

Externally, a secure gated courtyard provides on site parking for up to four vehicles, with additional street parking available directly outside. The building also benefits from a communal garden and a quiet residential setting, with ceiling soundproofing helping to manage internal noise.

With 24 hour access, strong natural light, and a layout suited to both shooting and working, the space offers a practical and well considered environment for smaller to mid scale productions.
