This project was an extention and renovation of an old building designed for a client owning a jute mill factory in Bhairab, Bangladesh. The existing building was originally built around the 70’s and is a one storey, single family residence located on the jute mill site. It is used as a guest house for the owner’s family and friends. The design included renovating the first floor and making an additional second story which would have all the amenities for a small single family unit. 

The second floor is designed for a second family and allows for complete privacy from the first floor. This is possible with an existing staircase that is accessible from the outside of the building thus allowing little interaction with first floor interior. Both the second and first floors include bedrooms, kitchens, living, and dining areas, service areas and servant’s quarters. The second florr cantilevered addition also serves as a carportfor vehicle space underneath.
