Reconstruction Birmensdorferstrasse / baubüro in situ
The 80m² small row house had only been selectively maintained since its construction in 1949. In order to ensure the processes in the house as well as the energetic refurbishment, we designed the current conversion accordingly holistically. The basement had to be structurally strengthened in order to open up the ground floor into a kitchen-living room. The bathroom on the upper floor was enlarged. We opened up a room chamber of 9m² to a family room with an office. In a second stage, the building was extended by a whole storey with wooden elements. The attic can now be used as a living room and retreat with another bathroom. After completion, the building now offers 120m2 of living space with a 40m2 basement.
