Inside, the vaulted ceiling creates a tall and open space for the new living room, dining room, kitchen, and loft area. In the living room, the couch is focused on the black fireplace, that sits on a custom built low shelf.

That shelf transforms in a bench that’s located by the doors that open to the backyard.

Behind the couch is the dining room. Wood covered walls highlight the design of the vaulted ceiling, and create a backdrop for the dining table and chairs.

In the bathroom, tiles cover the walls, while a freestanding bathtub is positioned beneath the window, and a minimalist glass shower screen allows the natural light from the window to filter throughout the room.
