Then, it of was abandoned during 70 years, until 2013, when detached and sold apart. Anne Rolland's Studio undertook in 2015 to refurbish it as a cosy one room flat.

Transformation started with partition walls removal, in order to create a large space feeling. The facade wall is cleared to welcome the daylight, while the opposite one reveals from kitchen to shower its old limestone masonry again.

Space is divided in two by amultipurpose closet furniture: on one side the bed corner and the toilet, on the other one kitchen and living space. This furniture, entirely made of birch plywood, first raises the bed from the floor on an intimate stage, and is also used as storage space, as desk and dressing room.
