A small cottage in our client’s garden was under utilised but held great potential; that potential has now been realised. The cottage interior has been enlivened to provide simple but bold stand-alone accommodation for the in-laws. A new mezzanine floor has been added to double the floor area of the cottage. When the cottage is not being used by guests the cottage mezzanine retains the flexibility to provide a study area for the client’s daughters. Or in the evening, the cottage mezzanine can be used as a party venue or where everyone can watch a film. To assist in the flexibility of space clever joinery will be incorporated to conceal the beds when they are not in use.
