Eco-refurbishment of a studio flat, Paris Completion: 2014
This neglected studio flat was totally stripped out down to its shell. It reaped the benefits of new insulation on the external stone walls, new windows in keeping with Haussmann's traditional Parisien façades, new timber floors and restoration of the ‘tomettes’, the original hexagonal terracotta tiles. To complete the transformation, a new kitchen, wetroom, lighting and heating were installed. Now it is a comfortable, modern space, and costs far less to run.
