On a tight budget and with limited time, two unexceptional apartments have been combined to form what is essentially a single, dramatically conceived space.
This is a new home for a new family, in which the rituals of family life – bathing, playing, eating, sleeping – can be thoroughly re-evaluated, with an open-plan sequence of simple flexible spaces facilitating the informal flow and changing requirements of an expanding family.
Like a blank canvas the spaces are currently rather bare but, as the family grows and memories are created, the walls will quickly fill up.
