“The most important thing to do in a small space is exploratory demolition,” Pozner says. “We found all that height in the bathroom ceiling. There are giant cabinets above the bed—we found all that space. This facilitated architect Darrick Borowski’s small-space rallying cry: “Built-ins, built-ins, built-ins!”

The kitchen's new position takes advantage of morning light. Note how the white countertop doesn't disturb the original windows.

The kitchen and dining areas serve as the heart of the home and connect to a small greenhouse via stairs.

The kitchen is fitted with a Highland ceramic glass cooktop and a built-in oven.

A high-level mirror above the white-tile backsplash reflects the deliberately exposed ceiling joists, while also visually extending the space.

The recently renovated kitchen is now spilt into two sections and features industrial stylings, giving it the look of a commercial kitchen. The deep orange accessories, along with the wooden worktop on the island, brightens the overall gray-toned space.

Bert & May Terracotta Arcilla handmade tiles line the kitchen floor and are complemented by cabinets with IKEA carcasses and white-sprayed MDF doors. There is also a cast in-situ concrete counter, which can be used as a secondary dining area or breakfast bar.

The expansive ground floor was further opened up with a new balcony design, great stairs, and a new kitchen that creates a home ideal for both large entertaining and intimate family dinners.
