For the conversion of the loft of Waldemars Thranes Gate we focused first on establishing a bedroom towards the courtyard, and on maximising the ceiling height while insulating the whole flat. To built a well insulated one bedroom apartment with generous light, from a poorly built loft to a one bedroom apartment, we had to scrap the place to its core structure.
