原来的建筑由两层楼和一个阁楼组成，外加一个院子，院子被一道花园墙与街道分开。房子的内部结构状况很差，房间太小，所以决定只保留外墙，在房子里建一个完整的新结构。
The original building consisted of two floors and an attic, plus a courtyard that is separated from the street by a garden wall. The inner structure of the house was in a poor condition and the rooms were too small, so it was decided to keep only the facade and build a complete new structure in the house.
一棵橡树的树干被作为新的支撑结构放置在五角形平面的中间。新的上层建筑在现有的外墙和这个中央支撑之间以螺旋式运动悬挂。这导致了一个开放的内部空间，在生活区没有内部墙壁。这棵树是一个合理且经济的解决方案，它立即给新家带来了合适的氛围。浴室、厨房、入口和储藏室/洗衣房被编入一个垂直体积。
An oak tree trunk was placed as new support structure in the middle of the pentagonal plan. The new upper floors were hung in a spiral movement between the existing exterior walls and this central support. This led to an open interior space without interior walls in the living areas. The tree was a logical and affordable solution, and it immediately gave the right atmosphere to the new home. The bathroom, kitchen, entrance and storage / laundry room were compiled in a vertical volume.
一楼是业主的工作室，他是一个艺术家，你在家里走得越高，空间就越私密。卧室位于阁楼上。
The ground floor is used as a studio by the owner, who is an artist, and the higher you go in the home, the more private the spaces becom. The bedrooms are located in the attic.
现有的外墙被恢复到原来的状态，并更换了屋顶。这创造了一个小观景台，可以俯瞰房子前面的公园。
The existing facade was restored back to its original state, and the roof was replaced. This created a small viewing deck, overlooking the park in front of the house.
因为新的地板是根据现有的窗户随机定位的，所以创造了令人兴奋的远景和照明条件。在一楼的餐厅里，增加了一个朝向院子的大窗户。
Because the new floors were randomly positioned according to the existing windows, exciting vistas and lighting conditions were created. In the dining room on the first floor a large window towards the courtyard was added.
