Solution:
We decided to add the second floor and expand the basement in order to have 3 fully-fledged floors. To do so, we had to fully demolish all the existing lift slabs and to erect them once more. The roof became accessible and two staircases were added, one of which leads directly to the roof from the building.
All elements of the interior are hand-made on the base of our project
Materials: Birch plywood, pine wood
Wood permitted the creation of very intricate shapes with simple technical solutions.
Usage of wood excludes coloring and traditional elaboration as it has its own texture.
