We continue the expose with a project that, unlike the ones presented so far, doesn’t have to do with a contemporary house that was built from scratch. This is a remodeling project that has been recently completed in Wiesbaden, a city in the southwest of Germany. The house we’re talking about was originally built in the 60’s..

It’s a single-level bungalow that was originally built by architect Wilfried Hilger. Now it has been recently remodeled as part of a project developed by German studioCHIRST.CHRIST. It was transformed into a two-story contemporary house with a stunning green roof. The roof area was actually envisioned as building space that could be used for the creation of other independent structures. It’s an interesting idea that responds to our constant need for expansion despite the lack of land.

House S was remodeled for a family a four that also wanted to renovate the space. The architects that worked at this project tried to maintain the building’s original charm while also making serious changes. In an effort to keep the existing bungalow intact, they added three box-like structures on the flat roof. They are interconnected by a glass corridor. The green roof provides a very nice base for the contemporary home.
