Description
One
house, two flats, three generations and a mighty shady tree in the garden.
Surrounded by an old printshop and an office building, the house from the 1960s
stands somewhat hidden in the centre of Schaan. Over the course of its history,
it has been transformed time and again. The addition of a covered terrace on
the south side has now given the house its first significant change at the turn
of the millennium. The former oversized single-family residence became a house
for three generations with two flats one above the other. The garden apartment
was left in its original state, with the exception of a little colour and a few
openings for new pipes. In the upper part, the bedrooms were retained and supplemented
with specific interventions. Instead of the attic with its gabled roof, a large
living space has been added. The open room composition with the precisely
positioned windows makes the room appear even more spacious and creates a
dialogue with the garden and its tall tree on the one hand and the mountain
range of the Drei Schwestern on the other.
