This project seeks balance through a play of contrasts between old and new; open and closed; starkness and coziness.

The kitchen and dining room occupy bright lofty spaces while the bedroom is tucked under the warmly lit mezzanine floor.

A new stair is divided from the entry by a wood privacy screen and winds upstairs to the mezzanine, and then further up onto the roof terrace above. The original brick wall is left exposed along this wall and was stained to a soft, muted grey colour. Storage for bikes and luggage is clever tucked...

A small shower niche is carved out of the side wall to provide a ledge for soaps and shampoos.

Every material is thoughtfully selected, and every juncture between materials is carefully and deliberately considered.
