Home / Projects / Architecture / Houses / A Two-family House in Offenburg
A two-family house concept in Offenburg, designed for a private client. We are just starting the fun here…
The main challange is to tend to the needs of two generations of the same family. The clients demand separate entrances and full Independence. The parents will inhabit the ground floor and parts the mezzanine (a house). The rest of the mezzanine and the attic will be used as a separate residence (a duplex).
