MARK: ecologically and collectively extended
Maja Kastaun
The planned asymmetrical timber extension structure adapts the traditional pitched roof in a modern form, adopting its slope and integrating it into a harmonious ensemble. The desire was to extend the existing single-family house on the garden side with a two-story wooden addition. Two additional rooms of 25 square meters each were added to the building. The upstairs room opens up with a large corner window. The gabled roof offers a relaxing view to the southwest. The living space on the first floor is extended by a room with a generous view of the garden.
The roof construction is a purlin roof consisting of a ridge purlin and two eave purlins of different heights. The roof loads are carried in the corner window area by a slender steel corner beam. The absence of roof overhangs and the anthracite roof panels give the extension a monolithic appearance: compact, modern, clear.
Planners on site: The extension was built on site in timber frame construction by our partner office Cubus Projekt GmbH. We designers also sharpened our woodworking skills on site and lent a hand. The result of this collective work was a small ecological oasis of well-being for our satisfied clients.
