The box also closes off the private zone of the flat incorporating two guest bedrooms and a shared bathroom comfortably behind the kitchen on the rear façade of the building.

Combining the kitchen with the dining and sitting areas has increased the overall area of the living space and allows natural light from the front windows to flood through it.

The staircase, the sink and the dressing area are lit by ‘task-skylights’ that have been placed specifically where natural light is helpful.
