02 · The work

A new layout.
Room for everyday living.

More room for living and dining

Structural posts were relocated with structural engineering input to make more space for the lounge and dining areas.

Separate access for everyday use

Alongside the laundry serving the converted lower level, there is an additional downstairs laundry for the upstairs occupants, with its own entrance. Each household can use its laundry without passing through the other’s space.

One bathroom with twin showers
