The house had an irresistible
feature, a huge field in an established neighborhood surrounded by
mature trees. The desire to liberate and to organize the interior spaces
and be connected to this landscape was the central theme that guided
the renovation of this house. The designers used a variety of tactics to
renovate and expand the house. The main form was expanded vertically by
increasing the slope on the roof
and extruded northward to increase the volume of the house within the
existing foundations. The existing windows were replaced and the pace is
extended.
The result is a “house-shaped” in a simple manner. This volume was
expanded with a series of terraces that provide transitional spaces
between the paneled and abroad,
as well as sun protection for new windows. These terraces, in turn,
frame the outdoor spaces around the house. The first level of the house
becomes a single volume, open white and a black mass of service spaces,
located outside the center. This mass subtly defines the living spaces
of the first level. At the second level, the rooms are turned into a
playing space. Visit Substance Architecture to give you further details.
