The beautiful wooden beams combined with modern finishes make for a unique whole. The architect's aim was to create a connected house instead of a house with three separate floors; this makes for a beautiful design with beautiful sightlines and where the special closet wall is the recurring feature on each floor.

RENOVATIONS

All three floors were completely stripped and rebuilt, including new electricals, kitchen, bathroom on the ground floor, and toilet on the first floor.

The architect's goal was to design a cohesive home, rather than three separate units, resulting in a stunning layout with beautiful sightlines and the signature custom cabinetry appearing on each floor. This home combines the charm of a historical building with modern comfort, including underfloor heating, floor cooling (heat pump), and home automation. In 2014, the first floor layout was modified, and the two bathrooms were renovated. The two front bedrooms were previously a fully insulated music studio, which can easily be restored for use as a soundproof office or studio.
In 2023, both central heating systems were replaced, as well as the two dishwashers and the Quooker tap.
