When Eilidh Izat and her boyfriend Jack Arundell of architecture firm Izat Arundell happened across a listing for a ground-floor garage in Edinburgh's Old Town, they jumped at the chance to develop the property. Incredibly, they transformed the 387-square-foot interior into a stunning Zen-like studio apartment. Come with us on a tour.
The original entry was repurposed with glazing units and a screened pivot door.
Gray limestone tiles echo the cobblestones outside.
The bedroom's sliding screen allows in sunlight.
Heavy canvas curtains can be pulled across the entrance.
Namon's refined picnic table and benches add playfulness to the space.
The kitchen features custom oak cabinetry.
An oak screen neatly divides the kitchen from the bedroom.
Vertical lines lend the space a calming tidiness.
The bed is tucked under the stairs.
Oak shelving compliments the bedroom.
The limestone tiling continues in the compact open bath.
