Article source: MEIUS Arquitetura The loft is located in the old garage / workshop residence built by Henricão own in the 50’s, located in the Garden neighborhood in BH. The project arose from the need Grandpa Henricão (Henrique Fernando Tetzç) to have a new place to live with accessibility, as access to the inner area of the house happens for a very long ladder and Grandpa with its 92 years (20 / 04/1923) could not overcome all the steps in an easy way. And with that he went to rent part of the house where he lived to the nearby hospital.  Image Courtesy © Bel Diniz

The space was thrown to rot unused, abandoned.

The cost of the renovation was approximately R $ 30,000.00, considering everything from appliances reform materials, labor, work, etc. The time for reform was approximately two months.

All this integrated with the kitchen and service area, and possible isolation between them from a curtain.

On the mezzanine also created a balcony that has contact with the street, where he has a small vegetable garden, grown for it to pass the time. Ah! We also had to adjust the stairs to the mezzanine, creating two more steps, because the existing mirrors had very high with approximately 25cm.
