House Krauss Conversion · Dresden

The arrangement of small rooms within the semi-detached home is opened up as far as possible and expanded with three interventions visible from the outside. An overhang marks the entrance, surrounding the entire building together with the garage and the two-story annex. On the ground floor, the annex expands the living and dining area, opening it towards the garden. A terrace enhances the living and sleeping quarters on the upper floor. The studio found in the basement is provided with daylight by way of landscaped light shaft and can be accessed from the garden via a stairway. On the upper level, the living and sleeping areas with a small gallery were also provided with a skylight to supply light and air circulation. The enlarged dormer in the direction of the garden offers enough room for a small bathroom with a view.
