The magic of re-purposing the fragmented built space into a harmonious experience for a home stay.
Material that re-shapes with light and texture, defining the user's experience.
Conserve what embraces the new purpose and remove all that comes in the way — clearing out the dark and dinginess to open up a cheerful space.
The frame, the floors and the stair were sound, so they stayed. What was bought new went into the surfaces a guest actually meets — the brick skin, the fittings, the finishes — rather than into replacing what already worked.
When a 30 year old construction is re-purposed into an active, alive space, everyone is happy. The client who has saved. The labour who got paid for conserving. The user for the lovable space.
The same building, given a new purpose.
