Comprehensive renovation and extension of an original mid-century building in the Zurich area. Adaptation of the static building structure to merge individual room units into a spacious living area on the ground floor. Opening of the main façade to the garden with floor-to-ceiling windows, repositioning of the kitchen and reorganisation of the bathrooms. Support of the central design elements such as the general cubic façade expression through an integrative extension. Retention of important details such as the wooden panelling and doors in knot-free spruce, the general entrance area and the addition of sensitively selected components such as natural wood windows and a coordinated colour concept.
The building is listed in the inventory of buildings worthy of protection by the local monument preservation authorities. The concept was presented to the relevant committee and approved accordingly.
