The project is a comprehensive renovation of an apartment building. The proposal includes the refurbishment of individual apartments, the renovation of shared spaces, the addition of an elevator, the creation of light wells at the basement level, and structural preparation for a future rooftop extension converting the currently unused attic into residential space.
The ground floor apartments remain largely unchanged, while the upper floors are reorganized with new layouts. New bathrooms and entrance areas are integrated into the building's core, allowing the apartments to be modernized with minimal intervention to the common areas. The top floor is designed to accommodate two loft apartments with private terraces, expanding the range of residential units with generous living spaces and attractive views.
The architectural concept respects the building's original character. The street façade remains almost entirely unchanged, with interventions kept to a minimum. At the basement level, light wells are introduced within the courtyard, bringing more natural daylight into the lower-floor units while creating private outdoor spaces. The project combines a sensitive approach to the historic fabric with the requirements of contemporary residential living.
