Kőér 2 Residential Building / epitesz studio

DOW House D / Dettling Architekturstudio
On the outskirts of Winterthur, a new residential building blends into a neighborhood built in the fifties. Wide plots of land with set-back villas and well-tended gardens characterize the picture.

The Berlin housing market has changed since the last move. It’s no longer possible to find affordable apartments with extra space for the children or the parent who needs care.
