Inside a 450-Square-Foot Carriage House Turned Polished Apartment in Baton Rouge
Briefly

The kitchen features polished nickel accents and soapstone counters, along with a cleverly concealed dishwasher and a rolling island. Custom cabinetry maximizes space. In the bathroom, glossy Zellige tiles in Rouge create a vibrant shower experience. The renovation faced challenges, including unexpected materials; the interior walls were made of terra-cotta blocks instead of wood. Additional surprises included a buried grease trap and drainage issues. Despite these obstacles, the focus on functionality resulted in a compact but fully livable space.
In the kitchen, polished nickel accents, referencing vintage automotive trim, coexist with soapstone counters and a cleverly concealed dishwasher. A rolling island tucks away when not in use, and custom cabinetry makes use of every available crevice.
The shower is lined with glossy Zellige tiles, in a fiery shade fittingly dubbed Rouge. The shower is isolated, so it could be a little more vibey.
