AIT 3.2025 – Living: exemplary, careful and sustainable

If you are currently planning an apartment or a house, you will find plenty of inspiration in our selection of projects on the topic of “Living”: whether conversion, extension, expansion or new build – a look beyond the horizon and beyond national borders shows the exemplary, careful and sustainable approach to the existing building and the surrounding landscape. In her article “New design”, Mikala Holme Samsøe takes a stand on what the interior design of a reductive modernism can and must look like – if the high-gloss aesthetics of past decades are not to slow down the acceptance of reused materials or furniture. We show a realized example, House 14A in Hellerup, Denmark, in detail, underlining their clever reflections. The approach is wide-ranging – especially in historic buildings when it comes to conservation, refurbishment and renewal. J. Mayer H. demonstrates this with the renovation of a villa on Lake Como, and Johannes Modersohn and Antje Freiesleben make a contribution to history and urban development with the reconstruction of a war-damaged roof in Berlin.
