The project to renovate the attic of the tenement house arose from the need to adapt its space to contemporary functional standards and the investor’s expectations. The concept was developed with consideration for the character of the existing building and its historical context, ensuring that the new form would seamlessly and naturally fit into the existing fabric.

Reshaping the roof geometry – without changing the number of stories in accordance with the local spatial development plan – not only allowed for the creation of a more spacious and functional attic area, but also allowed the building’s façade to naturally complement the street frontage, subtly referencing the height and rhythm of the neighboring tenement houses. The design’s goal was to create a subtle separation from the existing façade, achieved through the use of lighter façade colors, larger window openings that bring a lightness and a contemporary touch to the building’s form, and a subtle variation in architectural detail. These contemporary expressions give the remodeled section of the building a new identity while maintaining spatial order. A key element of the concept was also the reference to the architectural language of the neighboring buildings – subtle references to the arched entrance portals and the shapes of the dormers create a coherent connection between the modern interpretation and the historical context of the building. As a result, the design not only enriches the space with new functional values ​​but also creates a coherent and well-thought-out continuation of the urban landscape.
