The Brief: Replace the garage with a small side extension studio.
The Challenge: The space was tight, 2.8m wide, and we needed to include a bathroom and bed in the house extension design.
The Project: Previously a garage on the side of the home, the client wanted the house extension designed as a studio.
We had permission for a maximum height clearance of 4m which meant we could go below the surface to maximise the house extension. Designing the bathroom, we went lower than the house foundations and placed an en suite bathroom into the side with a few stairs leading to it. Above, we made a mezzanine with a sky light and added a double bed. Next to the bathroom is a sofa area-cum-kitchenette, completing the small house extension design.
The result is a contemporary studio ideal for a London rental.
