Rather than expanding the footprint of the existing house, the feeling of spaciousness was added by removing a part of the upper floor and establishing a connection between the two levels through a mezzanine space, a central staircase, and an oversized skylight. To minimize the environmental impact, the project retained as much of the existing structure and materials as feasible.

The modernisation efforts focused on upgrading the kitchen and bathrooms and creating an expansive master suite with an open ensuite bathroom, allowing for grand views of the vegetation of the Queen’s Gardens.  

A kinda ‘downsize to maximise’ type of thing…
