Shortlisted

DHaus have refurbished a 2-bedroom maisonette to form a triplex home, extending into the loft of a period property using digital design as part of the fabrication process. To the loft, the architect's created a dormer with external terrace and inserted a glazed frameless glass double height space, so as one enters the apartment the giant up and over glass window completely opens up to the sky. To access the top level, a perforated plywood staircase was inserted, that allows natural light to filter through the levels of the building, made from only two sheets of plywood and fabricated off site.
