Allison house
AQSO arquitectos office. The ground floor of the house has a double-height space, as a result of which part of the upper floor slab is suspended. The interior design of the living room is modern and functional.

the double height space

The extension of the house introduces an interior courtyard that provides light to the living/dining room. In front of the elongated courtyard window, a double-height gap is formed to change the perception of space and bring a feeling of spaciousness to the ground floor.

the double height space

office

Typical extensions to Victorian dwellings create a narrow, elongated ground floor that makes it difficult to light the space. To avoid this problem, the Allison House has a double-height ceiling.

The lower part of the ceiling corresponds to the level of the floor above, whose floor slab is suspended, while the upper part of the ceiling corresponds to the height of the railing of the terrace above.

The result is a living room with a friendlier proportion that allows a large window to open onto the rear courtyard, allowing sunlight to flood into the back of the room.
