Approached by a private client, ÜberRaum Architects designed a full refurbishment of this Old Town Residence. Converted to a high-end private house, the design features luxury materials including marble, hardwoods and onyx.
The new rooftop extension forms a double height dining room, and opens panoramic views from the terrace and living spaces, across the Caspian Sea and old town roofscape.
Clad in bronze, the rooftop pavilion’s surface reflects sunlight glimmers seen across its Unesco World Heritage Site surroundings. Its sculptural form provides dramatic views, while clearly expressing the contemporary addition to the historic building.
ÜberRaum Architects brought their expertise in working with historic buildings and with refurbishing high-end properties, having previously completed similar projects in the UK, Germany, Switzerland and Turkey.
Structural engineers Fluid Structures brought their knowledge of the local area and the characteristics of the local building stock with regard to structure, which they gained during the team’s years of experience there.
