We create better homes for people to live in.
WANA designed and led on the development of an existing garage plot into a new contemporary studio dwelling in Redland, Bristol. Unassuming from the street elevation, the red brick garage was retained and internally dug out to provide a mezzanine level dwelling. Using the existing garage door as a jump-off point, the interior embraces an industrial style with exposed steelwork, Crittall style doors and windows, as well as a bespoke steel/oak staircase.
