Project concept

Extending upward with a clear new roof level

The extension adds a recessed, dark-clad upper storey to the existing building. The new level follows the regular façade structure of the existing volume while distinguishing itself through material and colour.

A glazed entrance and circulation zone visually connects the floors. Generous glazing, a terrace and a balcony create bright interiors and additional outdoor areas.

Floor plan

Organisation of the new upper floor

The floor plan groups circulation and ancillary rooms on the eastern side. The open living and kitchen area forms the spatial centre and opens onto the large terrace.

Three separate bedrooms and two bathrooms are compactly arranged along the lower façade. A balcony adds further outdoor space.
