How can homes be upgraded to meet today's demands—from living comfort to energy efficiency and digital requirements? How can the fusion of the historic and the new be used as a design element?
The use of existing residential buildings scores not only with the charm of what has been handed down, be it a baroque villa, a 19th-century farmhouse, or a post-war bungalow, but also with an excellent ecological balance. The extensive reworking—whether modernisation, renovation, or extension—is a widespread and thoroughly rewarding task for many architects. Since the initial situation is documented for each of the presented projects, the reader can clearly understand the redesign process.
