This ambitious and unusual project was to change a very run down ground floor garage into a studio flat on a tight budget. The building is in the 10th arrondissement in Paris, the flat is only 22 square meters. This is a unique way to create more flats in a town where it’s now very difficult for young people to find somewhere to live. The studio flat is south facing and so though it’s on the ground floor it’s still light and sunny we left the beautiful old features of the garage the old beam and wooden column.
