Built in 1891, the house is located in an urban conservation district and has undergone extensive renovation. The existing structure of the attic was completely rebuilt and supplemented with dormers. The façade was restored with windows featuring the historic cross-bar design, and the addition of several structural elements restored its original proportions.
The floor plan of the middle floor was reorganized and is now reserved for the family’s two children. Each child has been given a mezzanine level for playing and their own bathroom, whose built-in furniture is finished in a bold orange hue. In return, the parents now have the attic floor to themselves one level higher.
Adjacent to the bedroom is a large bathroom with a sauna, whose surfaces consist primarily of oak veneer and travertine. A freestanding vanity serves as the focal point of this parental retreat and is complemented by various storage and cabinet spaces integrated into the surrounding wall paneling.
The newly installed floors throughout the house consist of oiled pine and linoleum.
