The converted stable blends discreetly into the street. Today it is remarkable dwelling, designed like an open-plan city penthouse, based on the edifice’s original dimensions. On the ground floor, a vast space combines a lounge with a dining room, beneath a cathedral ceiling that peaks at seven metres above the floor. The open-plan kitchen is extended with a scullery and forms a continuation of the lounge. A double-hearth fireplace facing two sides marks a subtle partition with an adjoining room that could serve as an office or guest bedroom. The street-side wall has a vertical series of three large windows that stretch from the floor up to the first floor. They punctuate the facade while bathing the interior in an abundance of natural light. At the very top, roof glazing casts light down upon a walkway that links the bedrooms. An extensive open-plan first floor offers, on one side, a room that could serve as a bedroom or office and that has an en-suite shower room and, on the other side, a vast master bedroom with a 4.7-metre ceiling height up to roof ridge. It has its own bathroom behind a partition of glass blocks and a separate lavatory. A sliding pocket door leads out onto a 42m² terrace with timber decking. This terrace forms a natural extension of the bedroom. An extra door could be added to lead from the top of the staircase out to the terrace. Wood strip flooring extends across all the rooms in the house, creating a warm, unified ambience.
