Shed roofs are connecting the bays of the historical roof trusses with the side lying flat. They bring light and space in the heart of the new house. The support functions of the house are grouped in the former apartment. This makes the attic fully opened and the trusses are restored to their value as defining elements in the space. Two contemporary sink dormer give the house a new identity restored. They open the closeness of the attic without compromising the historical character of the city.
