This was a 52m2 3-room 1-storey house, hidden down a pretty little lane. There was a functioning bathroom, electric and water but all services needed to be updated and modernised. Walls were knocked down and rebuilt and the house was better insulated.

The resulting one bedroom house was given extra interesting touches such as a mosaic tiled bathroom, fireplace, built in curving benches and new hand-made wooden doors and window frames.

Bright but warm colours, welcome this busy city client and give her a tranquil and comfortable get-away-from-it-all home for her holidays.
