Renovation and remodeling of a single-family house.
One half of a semi-detached single-family house from the 1920s, consisting of two stories and the roof, was intended to be converted into a three-story building in accordance with zoning regulations. Contradicting requirements of state and municipal law limited the extension to a large dormer on both front and rear side of the house. The footprint of one house is only 40m2. To alleviate the tight spatial conditions one of the two dormers was used to create an additional bathroom alongside the small existing one on the first floor. Otherwise the infrastructure with kitchen on ground-floor was kept in place. Only walls were removed to have one open space for living on first floor while the second floor accommodates two bedrooms, one large and one small. Furthermore a window opening on ground floor facing the backyard was replaced with a wide door leading to a new porch providing direct outdoor access.
