Five To View: Former factories
We’re going for an industrial theme this week, with a focus on homes in what were once dark, dingy and decidedly unlovely workplaces, but are now so light and airy former workers might be shocked to see the transformation.
The idea came from our recent blog about the piano factory loft conversion, an inspired design from the renowned architect, Piers Gough.
But would we be able to find five more factory conversions on the market?
Yes, we can – and with the added bonus that each original building produced a different type of goods in its industrial heyday.
Here are our top five factory conversions:
