Masterpieces: Roof Architecture + Design









In the large cities and metropolitan areas, very few building plots remain in central locations. This is precisely why the development, expansion and new construction of roof levels and attics are an expedient and popular form of redensification. Existing buildings are expanded vertically and designed and adjusted to meet contemporary desires and requirements based on their specific uses.
Masterpieces: Roof Architecture + Design presents contemporary projects from around the world, successful symbioses of existing structure and new attic design, that enliven the city and creatively enhance the urban cityscapes. All projects have one thing in common – they respond to a longing of the residents and users to experience unlimited freedom above the rooftops.
