Text description provided by the architects. The attic flat was part of the overall reconstruction of an apartment building. The Art Nouveau house was damaged and neglected by time and use, but remained authentically original. The aim was to find the original condition of the house and restore the historic features with minimal interference. There were two major interventions. The extension of the elevator - steel tower with a glass facade and the attic construction of the apartment unit.
