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.
