Transformed house
This is a small outbuilding which has been extended and transformed into a house – now a bed and breakfast. The aim was to introduce steel sheets into the existing structure to create a mezzanine floor; the aim then was to extend these sheets outdoors in order to create a living room enclosed solely in glass which opens out generously into the natural surrounding environment. via

The architect has taken care to blend the new elements into the existing building. The work carried out has not been to the detriment of the old building. The original heavy and solid features of the old building are still clear for all to see, and these features contrast with the extremely soft touch of the more recent work which has been carried out, the intention of which is obvious: the inclusion of features which create a contrast and which are not a close replication of the existing features.

I love this idea, it’s a really good use of such a small space. Only issue I have is the bed, I know for a fact that I would go straight over. Other then that, I would have how clever it is over my current studio flat anyday.

I love the combination of the used materials. the bed is situated right above the kitchen…I guess that will cause smelly dreams. anyway I would love to live there.
