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.
