brandt + simon architekten restores 1930s house in berlin

 
architecture practice brandt + simon architekten has converted, restored and connected two apartments in a semi-detached house in berlin, germany. located in the south-west of the city, this house — built in the 1930s—is now equipped with a new staircase that links the first floor and the attic floor.

rebuilt kitchen and living area

designed by brandt + simon architekten, this flat owned by the pastor of the church community of schlachtensee, extends over the first floor and the attic floor of the semi-detached house. as part of the modernization measures, the attic was expanded and insulated. furthermore, a direct connect between the two floors was planned. new stairs parallel to the existing staircase outside the apartment were added. they cover the area from the kitchen until de hallway of the attic, forming the requested connection that simultaneously builds the back of the redesigned, light kitchen. in addition, the wall between the kitchen and dining room was demolished, resulting in a generous and open living area that gives the apartment a new nucleus.
