To create a more spacious feeling and let more light into the building, false ceilings were removed.
COMPLETION OF THE FAÇADE AREAS.
Parts of the old exterior walls were restored with new building materials. The same applies to the extension.
"THE WHOLE IS MORE THAN THE SUM OF ITS PARTS."
– Aristoteles
LOVING RESTORATION.
The old natural stone walls were carefully cleaned and restored, dilapidated parts of the building were removed and rebuilt.
FREE-FLOATING STAIRCASE.
In the entrance hall, an elaborate metal staircase with transparent floor sections not only creates a great sense of space – it is also a real eye-catcher.
MODERN INSULATION, TRADITIONAL LOOK.
With the exception of the natural stone walls, all walls were insulated with Caparol insulation materials. To preserve the original character of the house, the window frames maintained a sandstone look.
A UNITY ON THE OUTSIDE AS WELL.
Sandstone slabs were laid in the pool area to adapt the outdoor area to the character of the house. Rustic metal pergolas provide shade around the house and emphasize the traditional architectural style.
