At the end of a row of terraced houses, a single-storey extension from the 1950s has been redesigned and extended. The practice of a sports physician was created in the smallest of spaces next to the garage. Above this is a cleverly designed three-bedroom apartment with a central room, which, like the adjoining terraced houses, is accessed from the first floor.
The access and service rooms, dressing room and built-in wardrobes are consistently separated along the firewall. Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors allow for flowing room sequences as well as separate individual rooms. Generous openings in the roof and floor-to-ceiling windows further emphasize the small footprint of the apartment – especially on the narrow sides, where floor-to-ceiling French windows with external blinds face the garden and the quiet access side.
The living area can be zoned differently using variable partition walls. In terms of construction, the extension is only possible as a lightweight prefabricated timber construction. Formally, the addition, which is as sculptural as it is rational, stands out from the existing building: on the first floor with orange-red plaster, on the upper floor with a gray-blue glazed wooden façade. In this way, the only supposedly modern look of the terraced houses is brought back to its origins.
