      I agree and I really hope these are turning into commissions for you. My sister does some drawings for clients as an add on to her property business. Unfortunately there are a number of clients that seem to push, push and push to get far more out of the brief than originally agreed

    The hand drawn sketches combined with the computer generated renderings really demonstrate the clarity of the design and its intentions in creating a new space. The narrative is also technical and simple enough for a layperson to understand, but not overly verbose as so many other architects can be. Much respect from a fellow architect from Fiji 👍😎🤙

The contrast with the modern interior doesn’t feel to disconnected to me. Do love the added openings and build-in bench on the terrasse. I wonder how they are planning to heat it and if adding a stove would be a necessity to keep heating cost down in winters?

    We actually own one of these press houses in this same area of Hungary and have spent the last 11 months renovating it. Our ground floor is an office/spare bed/cinema room. The 1st floor is our studio apartment with 3 piece bath. We haven't done anything to the attic space yet but will take inspriation from your roof. Our wine house is also fully loaded with smart technology, security and whole home audio (inside and out) all controlled with Control4. Ours in also painted white. These tiny houses are so lovely and well worth the conversion to be able to live/visit/stay in one of the prettiest parts of Europe. ❤
