The year-long transformation of the property on Sandmoor Avenue in Alwoodley saw a 3,600 sq foot red-brick detached home built in the 1930s transformed into a 8,000 sq foot modern two-storey, lightweight structured building with curtain glazing, double height balcony staircase and an entirely glass exterior to the back of the house that leads out to a landscaped garden.

As part of the project, a gym, sauna and even an art gallery have been added to the property.
