-
it's got a very high ceiling so we've really seen the design as
-
Inserting a little hybrid pod with a mezzanine loft bedroom over the top
-
Which freed up the rest of the space to make it feel a lot more spacious.
-
The history of this building is it's a Victorian era building
-
It has four shops and seven apartments.
-
This happens to be the residual one at the end
-
Which is underneath the hip and it's about 40m2 in size.
-
What we've really done is expressed the ceilings and the Trust's within the
-
design by inserting a little pod with hybrid spaces that incorporating all
-
the dining room, the kitchen and the services and even the bathroom
-
The kitchen for instance being loaded off a
-
hallway, rather than being its own space
-
We've gone for 1/2 module dishwasher and we've gone for 1/2 module sink
-
and kept everything sort of compact in that but still got plenty of bench space there and
-
decent-sized pantry and the little hidden appliance cabinet which you know
-
creates quite a functional chef's kitchen as we would describe it
-
Within that very confined space and ceiling area we've had to use an unconventional Japanese stair - to get up there and
-
It was so tight that we actually ended up putting a 10mm plate steel landing in the staircase
-
which actually formulates the ceiling of the shower in the bathroom
-
We've incorporated a dining facility into that which can be used as a
-
study during the day and has multi functions in that aspect
-
We've got beautiful sunlight northern orientation in the living area
-
which makes it feel big and spacious while the other functions are extremely tightly designed
-
it feels overall like it big comfortable space to be in and
-
I imagine you can have a party here with 30 or 40 people and it would still feel like a decent sort of space.
