The idea of only slim wall panels as the formative element was the starting point of the design. The walls serve as the only structural support, yet act as room-forming elements in the interior. In a small space, different spatial situations are created with simple means. Three interior spaces are perceived, which are connected in an open relationship to the garden, to each other, and to the patio as a fourth space. A simple and light roof is encircling the eight wall panels.
On the generous plot in Berlin's southwest, it was possible to extend the existing living landscape on one level and at the same time, it was important to think and design the extension in a lively and tangible exchange with the existing garden. The new plateau of white exposed concrete extends the living area of the existing building into the sloped garden. A reduced space spans between the floor slab and the ceiling slab, zoned only by the eight wall panels, offering different spatial areas.
