Back downstairs in the living area, standing at the foot of the stairs, you can see across the stainless steel kitchen to the workroom with its metal and glass desk. This is where John's wife, who is a designer, works. To the back is a self-contained two-bedroomed flat that Young planned to accommodate his two teenage sons when ther come to visit. The flat has its own entrance and is linked to the main apartment by a long corridor.
