ABOUT DON'T MOVE, IMPROVE!

Council House Renovation by VATRAA is the Joint Winner of this year's Compact Design of the Year Prize. The client commissioned VATRAA for a complete transformation of her ex-council house, aimed at preserving a discrete appearance on the outside while becoming warm, protective, and spacious on the inside.

The surprise is revealed when stepping through the door: a tall entrance lobby marks the start of a journey through different spaces and atmospheres, each tailored to the function they serve. By turning constraints into opportunities, the project transformed a disregarded house into a home with a distinctive character, now proud to tell its story through space, light and materials.
