The studio refurbishment was a self-build project for a first-time buyer. Struggling to get on the property ladder, they purchased a project in need of extensive remodelling and renovation. The space was simplified pushing the sleeping and washroom facilities as part of a new timber insert. The rest of the space is left open to entertain with an efficient kitchen, living and dining area. Fitted furniture is integrated to provide seamless storage with a small nook for guests up at mezzanine level.

 The project specification was tailored to the needs of a self builder making extensive use of the Ikea catalogue with a few choice designer fittings with details designed bearing in mind that the client was an inexperience builder.

 After moving to the Cambridge the client now lets the property out at a premium due to the quality of the design.
