Ecktürmchen mit Blick auf die Backsteinkirche St. Ludwig • Corner turrets with a view of the church of St. Ludwig Ansicht des aufgestockten Gebäudeecks • View of the vertically extended building corner

walls. This approach enabled us to meet the stringent acoustic insulation standards
of DIN 4109, Supplement 2. The new floor structure is 50 centimetres high, providing
space for service installations and previously non-existent utility shafts. However,
this involved significant intervention in the existing structure, requiring all new com-
ponents to be executed to F90 fire resistance standards. As a result, the steel beams
were fully encased, as fire-resistant coatings are unsuitable for hard-to-reach areas
and require ongoing maintenance. The new roof was constructed with purlins and
rafters, supported by timber and a few steel columns. Behind the prominent gable,
a pitched roof rises, intersected by a lower hipped roof running perpendicular to
it. On the sides, a hipped purlin roof extends, opening towards the courtyard like a
sawtooth roof to bring central daylight into the apartment. This structure concludes
roughly at the midpoint of the building wings, reinforcing the house’s distinctive
corner location. On the street-facing façade, subtle dormers were added, while a new
gable accentuates the corner facing Ludwigkirchplatz – a contemporary interpretation
of the original design. Along with the two reconstructed corner turrets, the gable
restores the building’s striking identity. The dormer and gable walls were built using
timber-frame construction, with the outermost layer finished in mineral scratch ren-
der, partially textured in a combed pattern. The dormer windows are rectangular and
framed by recessed wall layers with arched openings. The courtyard-facing roof is
gently sloped, with setbacks creating terraces facing south and east. The timber roof
truss remain exposed in select areas, visually integrating into the spatial composition
with a carefully coordinated colour scheme. Grundriss • Floor plan
