From the ruin house to the dream domicile: a couple in Cologne-Weiß transforms the story!

From the ruin house to the dream domicile: a couple in Cologne-Weiß transforms the story!

in Cologne-Weiß, on the picturesque bank of the Rhine, the couple Anne Robert and Rolf Koch are at home. Together with their dog Daisy, two turtles and four cats, they live in a very special house that lovingly renovated them 22 years ago. The 110 -year -old building, which had previously been empty for two years and had been very fell, was transformed into a real dream house. The two are very interested in such historical buildings and are committed to their preservation and renovation. Many potential buyers had to cancel on this property due to the financing, but the Kochs had a good hand and saw the potential that was in the ruin.

The comprehensive renovation that took two years had the house shone in new splendor. Only the side walls were preserved, while the entire interior was turned upside down. The coordinated living space extends over four floors on 170 square meters. The design that is reminiscent of a steamer - with round windows, is particularly striking. The open living and dining area on the ground floor offers a unique field of vision on the Rhine.

a retreat with attention to detail

The Kochs have ensured that every room reflects their personal style. The bedroom, equipped with a high -driven bed, enables the residents to watch the passing ships on the Rhine. On the first floor, visitors will find a private living room with balcony, also known as "pulpit". There is an individual concept for every room in the house, so that both Anne and Rolf have their own bathroom and retreat, which are designed differently.

The original division of the house into two separate apartments was abandoned to create a harmonious unit. The garden also only served as a overgrown area, but was transformed into an inviting terrace that invites you to relax.
