Reuse Flat is a project to renovate the kitchen, dining and living areas of a ground floor flat by adding a new interior lining. This lining changes both the technical performance and sensory experience of the space. The lining contains a membrane to increase airtightness and cotton insulation to improve thermal performance. It comprises wall panelling and cabinetry made from reclaimed wood. The lining is fixed directly onto the existing walls and assembled with reusable materials and fasteners (no glue!) so that it can be disassembled and reused in the future.
