Created by renown French designer, Philippe Starck, this 77 partial warehouse development was completed in early-2005 and has just one top-floor apartment left. The 1912 building was once a newspaper printing press, car repair shop and garment factory.
"When we did our excavation we found a few ink wells in the ground," Carrington managing director Andrew Finlayson said.
The remaining two-level, two-bedroom apartment with two balconies has been retained by the developer until now. "It's never been lived in because of the timber floors and beautiful Starck fittings and marble kitchens. People buying one of these expect something new." The master bedroom is huge with 3.5m-high ceilings and enormous original sash timber
windows bordered by original brickwork. A skylit curved staircase leads from the foyer to the living room, kitchen and terrace, white there is another balcony off the second bedroom.
