"Located in the district of Friedrichshagen, Friedi & Hagen is the renovation of a semi-detached originally constructed in 1891 within a protected urban conservation area. The project, designed by Club Marginal Architekten, focuses on restoring the building's historical proportions while reorganizing the to accommodate contemporary family living."
"The attic structure was completely reconstructed and expanded through the addition of dormers, increasing usable space within the upper level. On the exterior, the facade was restored with windows incorporating the original cross-bar configuration, while several architectural elements were reintroduced to reinforce the building's historic composition and scale."
"Interior modifications reorganize the middle floor as a dedicated area for the family's two children. Each room incorporates a mezzanine level designed for play and additional occupation, alongside a private bathroom fitted with integrated furniture finished in a saturated orange tone. The spatial arrangement introduces vertical layering while maintaining continuity between built-in elements and circulation."
"The upper attic level is configured as the parents' private area. Adjacent to the bedroom, a large bathroom integrates a sauna and is defined through a restrained material palette of oak veneer and travertine. A freestanding vanity forms the central element of the space, while storage volumes and cabinetry are incorporated into the surrounding wall paneling to maintain spatial continuity."
A semi-detached house originally built in 1891 in Berlin’s Friedrichshagen district was renovated within a protected urban conservation area. The work restores historical proportions while reorganizing the layout for contemporary family use. The attic was completely reconstructed and expanded with added dormers to increase usable upper-level space. The exterior facade was restored using windows that keep the original cross-bar configuration, and architectural elements were reintroduced to reinforce historic composition and scale. Inside, the middle floor was reorganized for two children, with mezzanine levels for play and additional occupation, plus a private bathroom with integrated furniture in a saturated orange tone. The attic level became the parents’ private area, including a bathroom with a sauna, defined by oak veneer and travertine, with a freestanding vanity and integrated storage. Oiled pine flooring and linoleum surfaces create a consistent material language throughout.
