A workshop in Douglas could become a two-storey family home under new plans.
Gustav Modin of Douglas has applied for planning permission to convert the empty building in Summerhill Quarry.
In his application, he says he'd remove the roof and build another floor onto the unused unit - which was formerly a builder's workshop.
And he adds modernising the structure will be a big improvement on its current state.
