🏠 What the house in the middle of the city with a green roof terrace looks like six years after moving in: https://1.ard.de/traumhaeuser-wiederb... It is February 6, 2006. An empty, run-down rear building in a narrow, rather dark backyard, surrounded on all sides by multi-story neighboring buildings. Is a dream house to be built here? "Yes!" say the builders, a young Munich architect couple with two small children, "because we want to build our own house and still live in the middle of the city as before. A house in a sterile new development on the outskirts of the city with daily commutes to kindergarten and work and long distances to shops is out of the question for us." 📺 Watch all dream house documentaries here: https://1.ard.de/Alle-Traumhauser-Dokus ✏️ For the floor plan of the house: https://1.ard.de/traumhaeuser-wiederb... 18 months later, they have turned the former bakery into a spacious townhouse in the second row. Textbook densification: By converting existing inner-city buildings, central living space is created for young families. Six years later, we visit the family, which now has five members. The housing shortage in Munich has become significantly worse, but their dream of the perfect home has come true: living, working, leisure time in the middle of the city, enough space even with three children, short distances to schools and shops and an office on the ground floor. The now eleven-year-old son moves around the neighborhood independently, can visit friends on foot or get an ice cream next door, the parents can combine family and work more easily and social life also functions more easily in the lively university district with its many cafés. The pioneering quality of this pioneering construction project is even clearer than when it was first broadcast in 2008. https://1.ard.de/traumhaeuser-wiederb...
