Living a Legacy: Listed Building in Oststadt from 1885, Completely Renovated for the Modern Era

"Living a Legacy" describes this exceptional project quite well.

From a house built around 1885, in a deplorable condition, an extraordinary property has emerged where the best part of the past has found its new place in the future.

The architectural ideas of the original builders have been made visible again and implemented in coordination with the historic preservation authorities.

The house "Weißekreuzstraße 29" stands in a row with other listed buildings on this street and in the surrounding area.

Thanks to the courage of the investor, a beautiful piece of Hannover has been brought back to life here and can be inhabited for the coming decades.

The architecture firm MADE+ from Hannover has demonstrated great expertise and brought a plan with much know-how to implementation.

The result is a house with 12 apartments, all accessible by an elevator in the core of the building. Choose the apartment that suits you best without having to worry about the floor.

From the former 4 apartments per floor, an elegant two-apartment layout has now been created, with generous space spread over 4 rooms and a large balcony overlooking a green and quiet courtyard.

The halving of the number of apartments has led to a significantly better space offering than before. One quickly forgets here that they actually live in the middle of the city.

With these apartments, a bit more modernity returns to Oststadt. The apartments have highly insulating windows, the shape and type of which were coordinated with the historic preservation authorities and will contribute to good energy efficiency of the house.

The staircase regains part of its old charm and is combined with an elevator. In the intermediate floors, the small rooms of the former floor toilets still exist and are now assigned as storage rooms to the apartments.

The units have underfloor heating installed, the bathrooms are top modern with walk-in showers and large-format tiles.

The apartments have a guest WC where the character of the house is again expressed in the style of the tiles.

The rooms are high, higher than in normal apartments, creating a very special spatial feeling that only works in such properties.

A high-quality fitted kitchen is part of the offer and is installed in every apartment.

Particularly valuable in terms of living culture will be the room doors, which are specially made for this house.

Only real wood parquet is used as flooring.
