DAAA Haus: The new design of this unique piece of Maltese history saw the size of the courtyard area slightly reduced to allow for a sheltered connection between the front part of the house and back rooms. This connection was built in light metal and glass structure separating the old from the new whilst providing an abundance of natural light to all the rooms, it also reflects the pointed stone wall onto the glass. Previously, two separate staircases led from the ground floor to each of the 1st floor rooms, which took up a lot of space in the house. The new custom staircase has different landings connecting to all rooms including the washroom and roof area, where the magnificent St. Paul’s Church Dome can be enjoyed.
