A single-floor apartment for a young family with not a lot of budget but the desire to do the renovation work themselves.
Finding ways to use affordable, readily-available materials was crucial for this client, along with maintaining plumbing
and structural elements in their existing locations to avoid unnecessary costs.
Strategic cost decisions were made throughout: simple white IKEA kitchen cabinets were dressed up with an off-cut piece of Carrara marble countertop; simple white subway tile was selected for the kitchen backsplash; and the largest format affordable natural material was selected for the floor – grey, minimally cleft Slate stone.
