This modest alteration transforms a storage area into a playful bunkroom and ensuite for visiting family. An adjoining courtyard is enriched with objects of personal meaning, including textured glass panels salvaged from the former Christchurch Crowne Plaza Hotel and a bathtub retrieved from an Akaroa bank. The new space supports the energy of family visits while maintaining the calm character of the wider house. The project reflects careful resource use through the thoughtful reuse of existing, unused space.
