Micro Architecture ex Laundry Boiler Room 8.6m²

After graduating as an architect, Christi Azevedo from Azevedo Design inc, decided to focus more on fabrication, rather than design.  She used her own place to experiment with materials like wood and steel, gaining knowledge of how to put together a construction project on a budget.  She is very committed to green values, that can be seen in this renovation of an old Laundry Boiler Room, which has now been transformed into a full service guest apartment.  The footprint of the building measures 8'-2" (2.4m) x 11'-6" (3.5m) which adds up to approximately 93 square feet (8.6m²).

Ground Floor:

The interior has a deliberate minimalist look, which together with the use of a mezzanine floor, gives a more spacious look and non claustrophobic, for its size.  The building has a lot of glass to make sure that it is as light and airy as possible.  The ground floor has a full size kitchen, three seater couch with a dining / kitchen table.  There are cushions that can positioned at the bottom of the ladder to create more seating if necessary.  See the picture above.
