Transforming a slice of industrial heritage into a contemporary dwelling, this project involves converting a former factory apartment into a modern abode with two bedrooms, a study, and a guest room. Despite spatial constraints, the design achieves a visually expansive and light-filled interior.

The apartment's sole natural light source emanates from a narrow north-westerly facade. The original, partly opaque facade has been substituted with a fully double-glazed surface, dramatically increasing the penetration of daylight into the living spaces. To adapt to the limited light, bathrooms are strategically placed at the apartment's darker rear.

A focal point of the design is the double-height living and dining area, which creates a sense of volume and openness. This central space is visible from the study gallery above, as well as the master bedroom, fostering connectivity within the home.

The elongated nature of the apartment necessitated the inclusion of internal bedrooms. These rooms, lacking external windows, are innovatively designed with internal windows overlooking the staircase, glazed sliding doors, and indirect lighting solutions to emulate the presence of daylight and amplify the sense of space.

Attention to detail is evident in the joinery work, which is seamlessly integrated throughout the residence to maximise storage without compromising the aesthetic. The addition of a new pool area, embraced by the natural rock formations of the garden, creates an oasis-like atmosphere, enhancing the property's unique fusion of industrial legacy and modern living.
