The difference in height is captured in the new building, resulting in a differentiation in the façade. The first two floors accommodate the ‘day-function’ connected by a narrow void. The upper floors with bathroom and bedrooms are narrow and the second floor leads to the walled terrace. Because of the new side façade, the urban dwelling expresses itself not only as a two-dimensional façade, but as a sculptural multi-storey house in the streetscape.
