We have recently completed a four-storey 4,000 sq/ft warehouse conversion.

This project involves the construction of a new rooftop building and major refurbishment of a four-storey apartment for a family in London. We began the project with the idea of better utilizing the roof terrace for the benefit of the apartment. The existing circulation route from the living space to the terrace was via an awkward stair over the swimming pool, and therefore the terrace was rarely used. We have designed a new stair to link the living space with the terrace which completes a coherent passage through the apartment from the ground floor entrance to the third floor terrace. A new building on the roof will contribute the kind of space that the apartment currently lacks and one that is a privilege in central London. A combination of fixed skylights and sliding window doors take advantage of the abundant natural light and carefully stimulate the relationship with the external space.
