A top-on created six additional flats in the city center of Wiesbaden, and transformed a multi-story residential building from the 1950s into modern architecture. The design as a simple prefabricated timber frame construction on a board stack ceiling is efficient and sustainable. The two residential buildings are part of a residential complex dating from 1952.

Pálffy Manor is not only one of the oldest monuments of the ancient town of Svätý Jur, but it is also an important part of its more than 700 years of wine-growing tradition.

Universo
The residential building is situated in a developing area of the city, in the proximity of universities. The plot originally consisted of five, one-two story, uninhabited residential houses with small inner courtyards, all in extremely bad conditions, connecting to some new constructions.
