In the face of the dark basement, whether to accept it or use light to light it, but for Andy Martin Architecture, it is a complete subversion and transformation, in this detached house in London, the outdoor floor is moved down, and the interior is broken through with transparent glass, like a dramatic change, bringing practical and unique surprises.
▲ In this ancient building, Andy Martin Architecture is not only a respect for the history of the old building, but also a breakthrough in the needs of new life, the original ground level on the first floor is moved down to level with the basement, and the well-designed courtyard will replace the abundant light and fresh greenery into the interior, becoming the first step in the transformation of the dark basement.
▲The furniture is placed closely to ensure the free circulation of light, and the use of neat industrial materials such as concrete and metal lines brings a sense of visual freshness.
▲ The open layout and customized furniture maximize the use of space, and the original dark and closed basement has been reborn, increasing the homeowner's home use area.
▲ From the "round hole" of the floor slab, the light from the upper floor is sprinkled, and the reflection of the glass is beautiful and interesting.
▲As an important factor in the transformation process, the first floor space has become the second step for designers to exert their creativity and imagination. After consideration, under the premise of ensuring the safety of the building, Andy Martin Architecture has incorporated countless transparent circular glass into the concrete of the ground floor.
▲ And this surprise breakthrough, inspired by the glass tiles on the sidewalks of London's streets, good light transmission allows the light of the first floor to sprinkle into the basement, and the "light" that was originally the most lacking has become a clue to connect the upper and lower spaces.
▲ The furniture with strong colors and elegance has become the highlight of the simple space, and the black-framed glass door with good light transmittance makes the interior a wonderful "house of light" without dead ends.
▲ The building has five floors, and the stairs leading to different floors are also designed differently.
▲ The bedroom with a white tone is fresh and clean, and the owner's clothes or miscellaneous items can be stored properly through the designer's customized cabinet.
