In this renovation project of a detached old house, we witness the transformation of an outdated residence into a home that is not only safe but also brimming with modern appeal through careful design and renovation. Initially, structural fortifications were made to ensure the safety of the inhabitants. Subsequently, the interior flow was redesigned by the architect to align with contemporary living requirements. By remodeling the first floor into an open-plan kitchen and integrating the living and dining areas, the home was made to appear more spacious, thus significantly enhancing its practicality and comfort.

To further emphasize comfort and energy efficiency, the design cleverly utilizes louvers and Roman shades to regulate the introduction of natural light and to enhance ventilation. This not only improves the comfort of the living space but also helps reduce reliance on and unnecessary waste of energy. The choice of materials, combining natural wood tones with modern metal elements, creates a living space that is both sleek and cozy. In addition, the modernization of kitchen and bathroom facilities, along with the installation of an energy-saving lighting system, not only enhances the functionality of the home but also makes daily life more convenient.

Storage and sound insulation have also been greatly improved in the design. Such adjustments ensure a tidy and tranquil living space, allowing the homeowner to enjoy moments of peace amidst a busy life. The transformation of the outdoor terrace is a highlight of the renovation plan, cleverly turned into an enchanting small garden, providing residents with a perfect place to relax and enjoy nature.

This renovation plan for the detached old house has resolved existing issues and, through a series of meticulous designs, has enhanced the value and living quality of the home, showcasing the endless possibilities of old house transformation.
