A house for a large family in the building of a former boarding house Design 21.03.2022 The designers of SHED Architecture reconstructed the building of the middle of the last century, which used to be a boarding house. Now a large family with three children lives in it Photo SHED Architecture In this house built in the middle of the last century, there was once a boarding house where people came to rest for the weekend. A couple of years ago, it was acquired by a family with three children who decided to redo everything and invited the SHED Architecture studio for this. As a result, the house is not recognizable! It has turned into a spacious multifunctional space with a modern interior and a thoughtful layout, which provides a personal space for each member of this large family.

The kitchen on the second floor was placed in the center of the entire space, and on both sides there was a living-dining area with a modern fireplace and a pantry with thoughtful storage systems. In addition, a large bedroom and an additional small living room appeared on the second floor. On the ground floor, the architects placed a playroom, another bedroom and additional utility rooms.
