This project involved the conversion of a former veterinary practice with a dilapidated flat above into a carefully designed mixed-use building, combining a professional studio with a self-contained residential apartment.

The lower ground floor was reconfigured to form a functional architectural workspace. A compact WC and kitchenette were introduced within the existing footprint, enabling the studio to operate independently while maintaining a clear and efficient layout.

A key architectural intervention was the enclosure of the previously open staircase, creating a defined separation between the commercial and residential elements. This allowed the upper floor to function as a fully independent dwelling with complete privacy.

The first-floor apartment was comprehensively redesigned to create a calm, welcoming living environment. The interior scheme, developed in collaboration with Applemoon Interiors, is intentionally neutral and sympathetic to the age of the building, enhancing its original character while introducing clarity and cohesion.

The completed apartment now operates as a short-term residential letting, demonstrating the potential of thoughtful adaptive reuse and sensitive spatial reconfiguration within existing building stock.
