Thanks to the recently installed skylight, this is now a wonderfully bright space where you can wake up under the stars. The apartment has a surface area of 57 m², but due to the extra floor space (gross floor area: 89 m²), it feels significantly more spacious. The high ceilings contribute to an extra sense of openness and space. Moreover, the height of the home offers the possibility to create a third room.
