The restoration of this historic half-timbered house has given rise to a harmonious blend of history and modern design. Architects Fröhlich and Gassner placed particular emphasis on restoring the original charm of the building. The exposed timber framework makes impressive statements, extending through nearly every room and accentuating the timeless elegance of the house. The use of wood and clay serves as a consistent thread woven throughout the entire project. Clay plaster, wooden floors, and windows create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
The solid oak plank floor by HIRAM Habitat complements the house's original character and harmoniously integrates with the modern interior style. The carefully selected mixed grading of the oak floorboards establishes an aesthetically pleasing uniformity, imparting a subtle yet vibrant surface to the floor.
The exposed ceiling beams and visible trusswork in the attic, transformed into a spacious living area, underscore the authenticity of the historic building. The attic, enhanced by three generous dormers and a loggia, attains an appropriate grandeur while seamlessly integrating into the overall aesthetic. The result of this successful restoration of the old building is a captivating interplay of timeless elegance, historical heritage, and modern residential comfort.
