Method Architecture

Vertical timber boarding emphasises the height of the room.

Splayed ingoes make roof windows seem larger.

The new attic stair follows the pattern of the original stair below.

The new steel stair is visually lighter than the original stone stair. Timber treads make the stair more tactile.

The timber lining follows the oval geometry of the stair.

Relocating the the sink away from the window allows the table to be set closer to the light.

The liner arrangement makes most of the limited space.

The clean lines allow the character of original house to come through.
