Creative approach, consistent implementation

Renovated family home, Bergisch Gladbach:

An unusual approach to design led architect and client Erika Werres to a holistic concept for the renovated family residence. From the carefully selected surface coating of the profiles for the many and varied Schüco system windows she developed ideas for colours and materials for almost all of the visible surfaces in and around the building. The result is as coherent as it is elegant.

Street view: Symmetrically arranged window and door areas structure the façade and roof. A recurring element is the narrow, portrait double-vent windows (Schüco AWS 75.SI).

Garden view: Careful planning in terms of size, division of fields and positioning of the light openings has allowed the original character of the building to be retained.

Concrete slabs and Rhine gravel mark the transition zone between the garden and the house. The dark frame profiles of the light openings form a structured contrast to the bright surfaces.
