When most people laid eyes on the 88-square-foot brick boiler room that was for sale in San Francisco, they thought nothing could be done with the miniature space. But when designer and architect Christi Azevedo spotted the property, she saw all of its potential.
The old brick building, which was part of a former French hand laundry, needed some renovating and updating to make it livable. As soon as Christi saw it, she knew she would be able to turn it into a full-service guest apartment with all the amenities of a larger home.
“The entire place was a wreck, but there were loads of details remaining,” Christi told Today.com about her ‘Brick House’.
The cozy living room has a couch and a table where people can hang out comfortably, and if more space is needed, there are fold-out cushions that can be placed on top of the staircase landing for more seating.
The kitchen area is again the far wall and features plenty of storage space in the custom cabinets, a stainless steel countertop, a large sink, and a stove top.
The metal staircase leads upstairs where there is a small bathroom, a queen sized bed with plenty of storage, and a mezzanine dressing area with a built-in wardrobe and drawers for clothing.
Now Christi uses the apartment whenever she’s staying in San Fransisco, where the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment costs about $3,500 a month. When she’s elsewhere, Christi manages to rent the space out for $1,600 a month, which is a steal for the area.
