The yellow staircase that belongs to this rooftop apartment by London-based [Vine Architecture Studio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-great-vine-winery) can surely be named the crown jewel of the design.

The 'Mile End Road' flat is a [compact one-bedroom](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/primrose-apartment) that shares common areas with an office on the lower level. The creative practice attempted to infuse the space with life through the incorporation of [roof window panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foksal) which allow a constant and rich influx of natural light. Other features include a contemporary-style layout, as well as the attention-captivating outdoor yellow staircase. Without a doubt, the colorful pang infuses Vine Architecture Studio's 'Mile End Road' apartment with a cheerful character. Another, more subdued, point of interest in the design is the double dual-pitched roof.
