NEVER TOO SMALL: Brilliant Mezzanine Conversion to Small Family Apartment, London 42sqm/452sqft

Head to to grab all our publications at one discounted bundle price. Nestled in London’s historic industrial area along the River Thames, this apartment was designed by Louise Glynn as a family home for her young son. Originally built as an office building and later converted into apartments, the space featured a double-height ceiling that had been overlooked. Glynn reimagined the layout, adding a floating staircase that leads to a cosy mezzanine bedroom. Thoughtful renovations include custom birch plywood furniture, hidden storage, and dark-coloured ceilings that create an illusion of height. Rich materials and warm textures bring a sense of cosiness to combat London’s grey winters, while a newly renovated bathroom floods the space with natural light. Clever solutions like a pegboard kitchen wall and pull-out storage drawers maximise functionality without sacrificing style. #smallapartment #architecture #interiordesign Ep 195 Project Nam
