Create sunlit space. Find ways of enjoying movement of space across and vertically. Synthesise work and residential life in contemporary modern space. Incorporate storage as walls or sculptural volume. Express clearly the way in which materials are connected.
So the main intervention here is the introduction of newly opened and highly structured space in the middle of this two storey apartment, bringing south light unusually into north interiors, and inserting just in the middle space three floors against the outer two.
