Oliver's Wharf, Victorian warehouse conversion on Wapping High Street, London.
Oliver's Wharf is a Victorian warehouse on Wapping High Street that spans three levels with mezzanine platforms and terraces. The structure features cast-iron columns, oak trusses, and a brick roof throughout the interior space.
The building was constructed in 1870 as a warehouse for tea imports along the Thames and served this purpose for over a century. Its conversion to residential use took place in 1972, marking the end of its storage function.
The building shows how London's old industrial structures now serve as living spaces, blending original craftsmanship with modern daily life. The visible brickwork and iron construction remind residents and visitors of what the place once was.
The building contains multiple functional areas with a central kitchen and distinct living zones across its levels. The interior stairs and vertical access points connect the floors, with upper areas offering specific views.
A spiral staircase made from shot-blasted steel plates winds through all floors via a central screen of translucent cast-glass slabs. This feature connects all levels visually and functionally in an unconventional way.
