dgj123 City House Rotterdam

An urban house built in 1917 in a neighbourhood of Kralingen was renovated for a family. While the division of rooms largely followed the original form, important elements where designed in a contemporary approach. The kitchen and bathroom were refurbished with well-defined extensions into spacious rooms. The central skylight was completely replaced for safety reasons by a transparent contemporary glass floor on a steel structure. Although the motif of the support structure is from the 21st century, it fit harmoniously with the moderate art nouveau style of the building.
