Dezeen: An Office and a Watch Store

January 5, 2014


If Remodelista and Gardenista HQ had a shop where we sold all of our favorite home ware and gardening goods (a recurring fantasy in these parts), it would look just like this.

Designer Phillipe Malouin of Post-Office transformed what was once a doctor’s office into online design magazine Dezeen’s North London headquarters, including a new watch store to complement an online store. With details including reclaimed Victorian windows, floor-to-ceiling gray curtains (hiding doors to the kitchen, bathroom and storage), and an abundance of green plants, it would not take much to persuade us Remodelista and Gardenista editors to move in.

Since this post was written, Dezeen has moved to Colville Estate on 8 Orsman Road, London. Regardless, we can still dream.
