A ROOM FOR ONE MORE BY STUDIO BEN ALLEN
Look at the project A room for one more by Studio Ben Allen for a flat in London’s Barbican Estate.

We love this design solution that is intended to provide a high degree of flexibility to allow the growing family to continue living in a loved but modest sized flat.
