Jo Cowen Architects has converted a 19th-century bakery complex in south London into housing, featuring glazed brickwork, cast-iron columns and industrial-style glazing.

The London-based architects renovated a Victorian-era property in Battersea to create Bakery Place, a development of 12 homes that include both mews houses and apartments, including a penthouse.

The aim was to create luxury properties that still reference the building's industrial history, on behalf of London-based developer West Eleven.

"Our approach was to expose and celebrate the rich history by preserving its component parts as much as possible," explained architect Chris Wilkinson, one of the two directors at Jo Cowen Architects.
