We build houses. We assemble modules. We install roofs. But every now and then, we take on a project that’s completely outside our usual playbook just to keep things interesting.
Bought, renovated, and sold—but this one was different
This house? It wasn’t a client project. We bought it, ripped it apart (in a very professional way, of course), put it back together, and gave it a whole new life. And yeah, then we sold it. But it wasn’t just a flip. It was something else.
Taking a house from “meh” to “wow”
We’re not talking about a fresh coat of paint and calling it a day. This was the real deal:
- Basement? Transformed. We dug deep, literally, and added rooms, including a sauna, because let’s be honest, every proper house should have one.
- Underfloor heating on all three floors. Cold feet are great for dramatic life decisions but not for stepping out of bed in the morning.
- Three toilets, two showers, one bathroom. Morning routines optimized. No more family feuds over bathroom schedules.
- A big second-floor terrace. Perfect for everything from sunbathing to existential crises at sunset.
- More bedrooms, more possibilities. We squeezed in as many as the house allowed because space is a luxury, and we’re all about maximizing it.
Why this one hit different
- It made a forgotten house part of the neighborhood again. Instead of being that house on the street, it became the house on the street.
- It kept our team busy during COVID. When borders closed and Scandinavian projects slowed, this house gave us a challenge to tackle.
- It became a home before it became a home. Before selling, it housed Ukrainian refugees, providing them a safe place when they needed it most.
What we learned along the way
- If a house has a basement, at some point, you’ll have to deal with it. And that usually means some unexpected headaches or, in this case, foundation-deep problem-solving.
- Smart design beats square meters. If you do it right, a “small” space can do a hell of a lot more than you think.
- Some projects just feel different. You don’t always know it going in, but by the time you walk away, you realize this one mattered.
Now, the house belongs to a new family. The project is done. But we’ll always remember it as the one that reminded us why we love what we do.
Not just building things but bringing them back to life.
