Swiss studio idA has fully refurbished a living and business house built in 1893, which accommodates six 3.5-room apartments, an art gallery in the ground floor and a showroom in the basement. The formerly North and street orientated living/dining room is now facing the quiet south. The floor plan, which was divided into small sections with entrance, bathroom and kitchen, is now dissolved. A new compact core with bathroom and kitchen is added, splitting the space in entrance, living and dining area.

The space between the two townhouses is filled with a steel structure, which offers space for generous terraces for both neighbouring houses. The new structure mimes a house, which is not allowed to be build – cause the two plots are already fully used. In theory, the structure is supposed to be used temporary as outside space, and in case of re-densification it will be developed into flats.
