A Bright, Livable Home That Feels Completely Natural as a Residential Space

This project transformed a former commercial shop unit into a
warm, modern, and fully self-contained apartment designed
for comfortable everyday living.

Project intro


The original space was practical but tired, with a layout that no longer suited how people live today. Our goal was to completely re-imagine it—opening it up, improving natural light, and creating a home that feels welcoming, efficient, and thoughtfully finished from top to bottom.

We handled the conversion from start to finish, carefully adapting the existing structure while meeting all current building and residential standards. The new layout makes smart use of the available footprint, creating clearly defined living, kitchen, and sleeping areas without the space ever feeling cramped.

High-quality materials were used throughout, with a focus on durability, clean lines, and a modern aesthetic that will stand the test of time.

Summary


Insulation, services, and soundproofing were all upgraded to ensure the apartment is warm, quiet, and energy-efficient. Every detail—from lighting placement to storage solutions—was planned to make the space as practical as it is comfortable.

What was once a closed-off retail unit is now a bright, livable home that feels completely natural as a residential space. This project is a great example of how thoughtful design and skilled workmanship can unlock the potential of an existing building and give it an entirely new purpose.
