A narrow, historic house in the Bruneck city wall: for and with the owner, who are sisters, the studio transformed the building into a very special refuge - with 4 surprising residential units and experimental solutions. 

First of all, all previous interventions were dismantled. A nylon was laid over new and old wooden beams, reinforcing rail and empty pipes were also concreted in. The imprints of nylon makes the ceiling a real eye-catcher. In addition to the ceiling, the main room on the first floor surprises with a kitchen furniture designed by the client herself, made of solid-looking pressed particle board. From the first floor, between linear black steel elements, a staircase made of blast furnace cement now leads down, into an existing annex with glass opening in the ceiling.

The bush-hammered concrete ceiling merges effectively with the rock at the rear. The bathroom solution is extremely ingenious: behind a plastic curtain, there’s a free-standing tub and a shower in the passageway. The upper living units are similarly unconventional and effective - with ingenious mini-kitchens, flexible separating elements, reduced in-house designs and carefully selected design pieces. Highlights, of course, include historic details such as Gothic wall remnants and old brick walls or a thick clay plaster for the church-like attic. Renovated from the garden side, the biggest surprise ended up being the street façade: "There were originally 2 houses." A well thought-out renovation with many surprising, individual details.
