17 the functionality of both apartments and the building can be improved new outdoor space, semicold space or heated space new external walls balconies can be thermally insulated and integrated to interior spaces heated or semicold living area can be increased even up to 20% (example below) In case a three storey building has a ground floor that could be redeveloped, the maximum new floor area would be about 25% Frank Lattke
