Walk to work from Shoreditch: new homes in modern block with Art Deco-style details, some with private roof gardens

Nile Street is part of a new canalside creative quarter moments from the Shoreditch tech cluster.

Sprinkled with handsome warehouses and factories, it also attracts City finance professionals, who like the modern apartment blocks and being able to walk to the office.

The Makers — a new scheme of 175 apartments within a 28-storey tower and an interconnected low-rise block — takes its name from the area's craftworking traditions, now reinvented by a hipster breed of artisan bakeries, barista bars, designer florists, pilates studios and interior design boutiques.

A classy exterior by Avanti Architects features two-tone concrete and perforated aluminium panels.

Flats have full-height glazing, while corner apartments have double-aspect winter gardens.

Family duplexes come with private roof gardens and four penthouses have upgraded interiors including a brass-wrapped kitchen island, herringbone flooring and home automation.

Setting the bespoke tone on arrival is an Art Deco-style entrance lobby with terrazzo floor and brass detailing.

Residents can use an indoor garden, roof garden, gym, treatment studio, lounge and screening room.
