Home in Water - Measuring 6 by 27m it was a typical house with a traditional façade and small rooms. The entire house was gutted, retaining the façade, and the bedrooms were pushed downstairs, freeing the living spaces above to enjoy the full volume of the previous structure. A 12m narrow pool slides into the living space and shares its walls with the bedrooms below. A 10m high void housing the staircase stuns the visitor, whilst retaining traditional elements like a wrought iron railing and a masonry cornice.
