The project was a disused 750 square feet (70 square meter) concrete shell in an old 1960's office block.
The double height volume, stretching the 40 feet (12 meter) length of the shell, has abundant natural daylight and rooftop views views to the East. The living space serves a row of compartments for cooking, working and sleeping with guest beds and games consoles hidden behind folding-steel panels.
An open tread stairs lead up to a newly constructed 430 square feet (40 square meter) mezzanine gallery with a matching cantilevered bed and a free-standing cedar-wood bath. The purity of the space is counter-balanced by tables, shelves and the cantilevered stairs made out of folded mild steel which preserves the feeling of rawness and robustness.
