This project was born out of misfortune. An attic fire rendered the cramped and compartmentalized spaces on the third floor of this home unlivable. In the aftermath of the fire, our client decided to transform this area of the home into a meditation studio that could also function as a studio apartment in the future. Along with the aesthetic requirements of simple tranquility, our client had three additional requirements for the new space: more light, an open and airy look and feel, and comfort without the climatic extremes one typically finds in an attic.
