This is a truly amazing project. The owner should be recognized as "architect of the year" for having the vision to imagine this layout, and then having the determination to see it built in exactly the way the imagined it! Jut think of this: most people saw a decaying garage and wondered why it was not demolished. Our heroine, on the other hand, saw a possibility and worked to achieve it!

That place is GORGEOUS and so economical! Way to go, girl!

This is nothing short of perfection! The light and airy feeling is such a surprise and I would spend way too much time in that glass-ceilinged bath tub! ❤️❤️❤️

Brilliant in every way ! Wishing the owner a lifetime of happiness in her beautiful home !

What an awesome project. The owner did such a great job designing a beautiful home in such a small space. The whole project is just absolutely gorgeous and it’s so private and light filled. That bathroom is absolutely stunning and I think I’d be in that room all the time. So relaxing and peaceful being able to see the sky while bathing. The whole home turned out STUNNING. Thanks for this video.

I purchased my first property when I was 22 and in college. I renovated it myself while working on my Master’s and sold it for an excellent profit. I continued to do it throughout my life. Eleven properties later, I am in my permanent home. I had vision but not the talent that she has! I wish I could do what she does, I would keep going. Brava!

Love this so much. What a gem of a house.

Not 4 feet by 10, it measured 4 meters by 10 metres and the ground floor was partly underground as said in the commentary

Nice design, well done! The family dog looked happy, he seemed to enjoy his space!

A brilliant insight on the part of the architect!

The "painted ladies" Victorian houses in San Francisco are several thousand miles away from Dalston, North East London. Why are other, very clearly, American neighbourhoods pictured in a video about North East London! 🤔🙄😖🤬

Such an awesome idea!

Love it. What a fantastic concept.

What a wonderful home, created by a fantastic plan, designed by a very clever mind! This lady is going places in the minimalist space design world. Well done, and, get used to being very busy. You have some brilliant ideas and people will want them for their own “tiny” homes!

Brilliant concept! Stupendous build!

Amazing! I don’t have that wonderful ability to ‘see’ beyond the physical like this design has. Great job! 👏👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰🥰

Wonderful house - cool ideas using glass - various places.!

Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

Clever lady!

Leave it to a woman to think outside the box! BRAVA Diva!

I absolutely love it. What an amazing woman architect.

Lovely project, but I doubt very much that the neighbours were smirking when she bought a garage. People fight tooth and nail to get hold of plots like this in London and are very used to seeing tiny garages or outhouses being transformed into lovely living spaces. I would imagine they had high expectations for this project, and just hoped that it didn’t impose on their privacy or views too much.

Awesome job and so functional. 👏 ❤

Truly inspirational

Amazing!!!!! ❤

Absolutely loved her vision and ingenuity !

That is Mill Lane West Hampstead. Now there is a whole row where garages used to be.

I would have liked to see what provisions have been made for storage. In many small site homes this aspect of life is often overlooked. Where are the rubbish bins, clothes drying areas, bike storage, luggage storages, utility areas? It is easy to be enchanted by the appearance of places but it is how they function that is a long term necessity.

Wow this is awesome.

Absolutely amazing!❤😊🎉

Very different and very nice. ✌

Thankyou for sharing.

BRILLIANT! I looooove it❣️

Love this - fantastic.

Nice. Well done

Amazing!!! 💚

This is so creative! It's all impressive but the part that surprised me most was digging down to create more space. Beautiful and brilliant.

Simply beautiful! Love everything. ❤

Smart woman

Wonderful!!!

Smart woman!

This is really quite awesome! I love it! ❤

awesome!

Absolutely brilliant, well done 👏

Brilliant!

Love it❤

gorgeous home!!

Absolutely beautiful! Congratulations!

I LOVE everything about it! ❤

Amazing work. I don't seem to have the imagination to transform a space into something like this. It is a gem.

I would imagine that was months and months of arguing with the council before a brick was laid. She done well to get change of use.

Amazing job, kudos!!!!!

Amazing!

😊🎉this is wonderful, thank you I'm interested in my own place just for myself Pamela Mitchell ANCASTER CANADA 🇨🇦

I love it

Amazing that the planning permission was granted. Looks a bigger footprint than the original garage. What about neighbours permission, light, privacy, boundary, etc. Also building having the same size footprint of the plot. Apart from that, great job.

This project is fabulous! Absolutely wonderful. But it's explained rather simplistically as though anyone can do it despite the fact that this person obviously had a critically important skillset, the finances, contractors, time to plan, create blueprints and execute it. 1) Since it had been a garage, weren't extensive filings and work permits needed to allow demo of the original structure, to build a residence with electrical/ plumbing, etc? and permissions to dig down in order to add height to the lower floor? 2) Before buying it, didn't the necessary air rights that would allow her to add several floors need to be confirmed/ approved? 3) How long did it take? 4) What was the final cost?, etc.

Awesome

Beautiful house. So-so narration.

Fantastic. Genius at its' best 💖

It is beautiful!

Waw!!!! Elegant!

Amazing house she created. Kudos to you! Very smart.

Really nice.

What an awesome house design, love it!

Pretty darn good!!!❤

Awesome and so creative .Love it and there's tons of sunlight which to me is crucial to me

Brilliant 👌☺️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I am surprised she was granted planning permission from the Government (required for the 'change of use') of a structure/dwelling and the addition of extra floors/height.

magnificent creativity.

Fabulous house. Sometimes less is more. I love it ❤

Beautiful home

That's one clever Lady. Great design. Great builders. All in all I want it 😊

WONDERFUL USE OF SPACE AND ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES. SHE SHOULD BE GIVEN A BLUE RIBBON! WONDERFUL IMAGINATION. CONGRATS TO THE DESIGNER…..

WOW, Impressive Build, Style...🙃😎🙃

This beautiful design is near me in London.❤

Absolutely Beautiful. ❤

It has been intelligently designed and is perfect!

Kudos to the lady! But you are not telling the whole story

Clever woman ❤

I think she did an excellent job of making an old garage into a two-story house. The elements that she used as in the wood and steel flow throughout house and brings it all together. I think there's room to do this throughout the world, which would give families a place to live, instead of being homeless, or next to homelessness.

Amazing house

Fabulous

Impressive accomplishment

This is a brilliant use of space. I and others would be very interested to know how much the garage was and then how much was spent on the new build. Because this home looks expensive. And cost is a factor in why so many folks do not undertake such "redemption" projects. London is an expensive city. And this is a custom design, which, if you had to pay this designer just for the architectural design, had to be expensive. Then there is material and labor. I suspect that this is only less expensive because this is the architect's home? (It is unclear if she designed solely for her use or for sale to someone else.) I am not a fan of modern/contemporary design but I could walk into this home and live there very comfortably.

Very nice, I would love to live in it.

What is the actual cost? Those renovations still look like they’d be pretty pricey to the average person.

In the US it will not work because it will not be approved with all necessary permits required to build.

Better looking then living in a high rise building Excellent design great love it ✨🌟💖🙂👍

Need to mention the total cost of this project for comparison with similar houses in the area.

This is an amazing use of land. The video, though, is a hodgepodge of photographs of the actual project, intercut with shots of other homes and neighborhoods. For example, who knew that the famous Prairie Ave houses in San Francisco were in this London neighborhood?! You extend the length of the video, while lessoning its value.

Every time I look at this, I see 2 stories only.... and in many cities, there is a minimum living space allowed, this does not seem like it would be legal. Ok, I looked her up, the garage was 10 meters x 4 meters..... and she did dig down, which is hard to see in this video, but easier to see on a few other sites. Brilliant idea! She got it done in just a few months!

Absolutely brilliant! Even though I would’ve appreciated a more thorough and loving expose of the interiors, it’s still a delightful peak into one woman’s exceptional lateral thinking, creating a masterpiece. Thank you.

Impressive, but I wonder how much money and time it would take for planning permission and plumbing to be arranged. Not to mention power and Internet.

So incredibly funky & cool, would move in, in a heartbeat. 🤗🥰🏡

Absolutely brilliant!

I've always said a person is only limited by their imagination!! Those fake looking doors on the ground floor really ARE doors! So cool!
