Adding Space & Light: a tenement flat is opened up and transformed
Aaltspace transforms a traditional, cellular flat layout into a free flowing, flexible plan that can grow and adapt to a young family’s requirements
A growing family had a typical dilemma: sell up and move on to find a larger home, or stay and convert their flat to meet their burgeoning needs. aaltspace provided the client with the inspiration they were looking for with a clever conversion that put a beautiful but super functional kitchen at the heart of the flat. Social, dining and living spaces bookend the kitchen and allow family life to play out in a relaxed way.
It’s all about the plan
Locked deep within the plan was valuable space that was simply not being used to its full potential. aaltspace re-planned the flat around a functional core comprising of a new kitchen, additional bedroom, kitchen and hallway storage as well as a location for a new boiler and washing machine. We worked really hard on the detail resolution, fitting everything into a beautiful assemblage of bespoke cabinetry and concealed storage. This new layout created a ’figure-8’ plan, improving the flexible nature of the spaces and - to the great enjoyment of the ‘toddler clients’ - an endlessly exciting circuit loop for fun and games.
