Sumit Singhal loves modern architecture. He comes from a family of builders who have built more than 20 projects in the last ten years near Delhi in India. He has recently started writing about the architectural projects that catch his imagination. KleinOud in Niederschönhausen, Berlin by brandt+simon architektenMarch 11th, 2018 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: brandt+simon architekten A semi-detached house in the north of Berlin had become to small for the to date family of four. The house from the 1930s with rooms all smaller than 15 m2 and a ceiling height of 2,70m had been extended with attachments for bathroom, kitchen and vestibule several times through the last century. As result the living room at the ground floor had lost its connection to the garden and the centrally located dining area – the functional center of the house – had become de facto inlying.

The existing bathroom was up for renegotiation and another was requested. All this should be realized with a quite small budget and, because of the inhabited status during the refurbishments, taking as little time as possible.

The new, generously proportioned attachment was planned with the same footprint and alignment as the existing building. By departing from the old house the ceiling height could be chosen freely and generously. Between the two parts of the building the living-kitchen area – the day-to-day most frequented center of the house – was inserted. The into each other fitting parts get a fine spatial differentiation which distract the stretched character of the general appearance.
