This office/living space was recently a finalist at the BDAA National Awards for projects under $100,000. It was created from an unused space under a balcony. Large triple glazed windows to let the garden view and light in, but also to modulate the heat and keep the noise out. Blow in insulation in the walls and ceiling, thermal mass to hold in the heat for the floor, Baltic pine beams and highlight walls and mechanical ventilation allow the space to be healthy and comfortable, with a fresh, calm atmosphere.
