An East London Victorian pub was the perfect building for Owen Pacey to convert into a showroom for his reclaimed furniture store. But having also made his home above it, the more beautiful pieces he acquires don’t always linger downstairs for long. The work included raising the ceiling into the frame of the new roof to increase the head height of the rooms on the top floor by 3ft, without altering the exterior profile of the building. "We needed the extra space to make it viable to put the bedroom, dressing room and bathroom at that level," says Pacey.
