The project
Initial situation: The timber-built detached house on Hernerholzgasse in Horgen is situated in a panoramic location with a view of Lake Zurich, next to railroad tracks and an agricultural zone.
Vision: The house is to be renovated step by step. The first interventions include energy-related measures and improve the standard of living. In terms of sustainability, the existing gas heating will be replaced with an air-water heat pump. While the granny apartment on the top floor will be left as it is for the time being, the focus in this step will be on the apartment on the first floor. Preparations are being made so that the upper apartment can one day follow with a renovation. Changing needs are thus taken into account.
Implementation: The apartment on the first floor will be fitted with underfloor heating, the surfaces renewed and the bathroom and kitchen replaced. The room layout will hardly be affected. The kitchen will be opened up to the living and dining room. The patio window will be enlarged towards the outside. Natural parquet flooring and muted natural colors create a cozy atmosphere. The color concept is repeated in the fitted kitchen and checkroom, the bathroom and the ceramic tiles. In the kitchen and bathroom, the fixtures are positioned in such a way that the room sizes can be optimally utilized.
By lightening the window frames and replacing the dark brown interior doors, the vibe from the 80s will give way to a new freshness.
