GLASS CEILING

This typical lower maisonette on an authentic Old South street features a highly distinctive in the subsidence of the block of houses. This happened nearly 40 years ago, when four homes subsided 70 cm (2’4”) to the rear within a week, making this building unique. We highlighted this detail in arranging the floor on the entrance level: the middle floor surface is made of glass. While at first two of the three layers served as a kitchen, dining and living room, they have been converted into four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a play area beneath a glass ceiling and a separate laundry room. There is now plenty of space for an entire family, with room for all members to go about their business without getting in each other’s way.
