NORDHAUS / An eye for detail
Dachraum — focus on the floor
A loft-floor study exploring access, insulation and future use.
CONSIDER THE EXISTING · Material, proportion and junctions in focus
Dachraum explores an accessible, uninhabited loft floor. The study focuses on the area above heated rooms, existing materials and routes for future use. Access and condition form the starting point, turning observations into questions for specialist review and an agreed scope.
Three decisions
- 01
Distinguish the loft floor from a habitable roof space.
- 02
Include access and future use in the scope.
- 03
Record existing details as questions for specialist review.
Design study
Materials and junctions express the design direction. A specialist assessment of the building determines the actual construction.
