This project involved the transformation of a narrow, three-storey townhouse into a modern, light-filled home. The space presented challenges due to its compact layout, low ceilings, and multiple internal walls. The client desired an open and airy atmosphere that maximized light and created a greater sense of spaciousness.

The Brief

To achieve this vision, internal walls were removed across all floors, and a lightweight staircase was installed, significantly increasing light flow and openness. A compact office was cleverly placed above the staircase, accessible via a tapering ladder that doubles as a sleek, minimalist desk.

Exposing the floor joists and incorporating metal-framed glass partitions further enhanced the sense of volume, separating the kitchen and stairs while maintaining a bright, cohesive aesthetic.
