Internal partitions have been kept down to a minimum with even the top level only holding a single master bedroom along with an open sleeping space next to it.

To further improve ventilation without sacrificing space the old light shaft was replaced by a cool walkable glass slab on the second level.

Repairs to the roof were carried out to improve the insulation of the house and avoid any future leaks while a simple color palette and Scandinavian-style décor give the home an inviting and polished appeal.
