Conversion of a Town Villa – Innsbruck

Our design team recently had the opportunity to work on a project for a modern extension to a villa from the 1920s. The aim was to create a space that blends seamlessly into the existing architecture while conveying natural light and a sense of openness. We opted for a timber structure for the extension, which through the use of partly solid timber slats offers both solid and open structures. The façade was clad in aluminium sheet, lending the design a modern touch. Extensive glazing was also provided to allow views and a connection to the outside while preserving privacy.

The façade of the extension was clad in aluminium sheet, a durable, low-maintenance material that complements the timber frame and gives the overall design a modern touch. The large areas of glazing were carefully placed to maximise the views and convey a sense of openness while also preserving the residents‘ privacy.

In addition to the new structure, the project also included a comprehensive renovation of the building services, including the electrical and plumbing installations. These systems were brought up to date to comply with current regulations and standards and to ensure that they can support the new extension and meet the residents‘ needs.

Alongside the new structure, we also renewed the building services such as the electrical and plumbing installations to ensure they comply with current regulations and standards. The windows and doors throughout the house were replaced with energy-efficient models and stylish new options. The roof covering was carefully selected for its durability and aesthetics.

Overall, the extension has turned out beautifully and successfully combines modern and traditional elements. Through the use of timber, aluminium and large areas of glazing, together with the thorough renovation of the building services, windows, doors and roof covering, a functional and energy-efficient space has been created.
