Anna Stathaki Here we have used darker wood tones to mimic the properties original step ladder, which leads up to a cosy mezzanine level. The addition of house plants is both on trend and brings the outside in, making the space a much more flowing and interesting space to inhabit.

Un elegante soggiorno moderno con un ampia finestra offre una vista spettacolare su lago di Como e sulle montagne. Lo spazio, arredato con tonalità neutre di bianco e grigio, è diviso in una zona salotto con divano curvo e poltrona con poggiapiedi e una zona pranzo con tavolo rotondo sormontato da una lampada dal design contemporaneo . Il soffitto con travi a vista in legno chiaro e un parquet in rovere con quadrotte decorate aggiungono un tocco di calore e tradizione all'ambiente moderno. Il grande camino con panca, interamente rivestito da marmo Camouflage è il grande protagonista di questo spazio. Foto di Simone Furiosi e Simone Marulli

With a ceiling more than 40ft high and three stepped levels to accommodate, Griem removed the old staircase between the middle and lower levels and replaced it with a more compact design cantilevered off the library area. The stair doubles back on itself and has transparent reinforced glass balustrades. Reinforced glass was also used to front the stepped level of the middle and upper floors. Photographer:Philip Vile

Pour séparer la suite parentale et la cuisine, nous avons imaginé cet espace, qui surplombe, la grande pièce en longueur cuisine/salle à manger. A la fois petit salon de musique et bibliothèque, il donne aussi accès à une autre mezzanine permettant aux amis de dormir sur place. Credit Photo : meero

Studio Uno is an unexpected sanctuary for our client Naomi, a full-time carer and mother. Lying behind an established Brunswick terrace, it takes the shape of a meticulously designed Dependent Persons Unit. Naomi lives with her adult daughter, who has very high support needs. The nature of their circumstances means that living together under one roof isn’t always feasible. Naomi needed a certified DPU that met a simple brief: a dismantlable but quality retreat with warm, robust materials and a calming ambience. We’ve packed as much enduring quality and thoughtful design as possible into a compact footprint. Carefully engineered, the dwelling’s lightweight structure and internal linings enable it to be readily disassembled, transported and rebuilt elsewhere. It replaces the fence at the site’s rear, with its upper mass leaning into one corner to minimise impact on the neighbours’ skyscape. Inside, blackbutt timber and hoop pine plywood dominate the palette to create a warm, low-contrast and relaxing environment. The ground floor features dual sliding doors connecting to the courtyard and laneway, with a versatile living area between for retreat, Naomi’s art practice and above all, peacefulness. Lining the wall is a simple kitchenette, cabinetry, and a clever door concealing the bathroom. A staircase leads to the loft bedroom above, made deliberately cosy and secluded by the dwelling’s tapered form. It’s punctured only by a small window to the lane and a skylight above, offering light and ventilation without compromising privacy.

A remarkable space. We removed part of the ceiling and installed an RSJ and strengthened the timber joists for the ceiling/floor to create gallery kitchen in the loft. We created a new staircase to new gallery. Fitted a ballestrade and handraid to the edge of gallery flooring. Bespoke storage units were created under the stairs. Bespoke alcove shelving and shaker style storage was built. A new wood burner fire on slate, new made to measure oak blinds and downlighters. We cut away the chimney breast to creat a vaulter ceiling. Carpeted. RSJ was installed to support the gallery section of roof. Interior designed by Encompass

Anna Stathaki Originally the mezzanine was divided by wooden railings. By replacing this with crittall style panels the space is reformed as a more separate, private space, ideal for doubling as a space for extra guests to stay. The crittall style also adds an industrial loft feel, that fits the space, and owner perfectly.
