The focus of the concept design was put on the second and first floor of the building which is nowadays used as an open space and a temporary artistic studio.
We’ve been asked to research the possible options to divide two storeys into smaller apartments. We proposed possible layouts and then compared them to the idea of creating one apartment that would span over two levels. 
After the decision to create one apartment the technical condition of the building has been evaluated and detailed concept plans have been developed. One of the wishes for the new apartment was to adapt the roof of the wooden veranda for a terrace and bring more light to the attic. The early design proposed two modern glazed dormers, however, finally the more conservative variant has been chosen. 
The concept design got the approval of the Provincial Headquarters of the Fire Department and partial approval of the City Monument Conservation Office and has been handed over to the Client for further development.
