The project
The country house in Gächlingen in north-eastern Switzerland dates back to the 19th century and has been sustainably renovated and modernized without covering up its historic and rustic core. To this end, Raumtakt carried out a wide range of renovation and refurbishment work in the house. The main focus of the architectural work was to adapt the house to today's living requirements. This project was reflected in the modernization of the room structures, which have now been adapted to create a modern and spacious living environment.
The kitchen on the upper floor was completely renovated to meet today's modern requirements. Despite the modernization, the original character of the house was retained, with a section of the natural stone wall, for example, being preserved. The kitchen leads directly into the spacious, light-flooded living room, which radiates a cozy atmosphere with its mullioned windows, wood panelling and tiled stove. The challenge when renovating the house was to combine the rustic wooden character with modern elements and thus create a contemporary character.
In the attic, renovation work was carried out on the sub-roof. After further repair work and a coat of paint, the façade shines in new splendor. Direct access to the garden from the basement was created, providing residents with more convenient access.
