On the ground floor of the extension, there is a carport, on the first floor two bedrooms and on the top floor a new south faced terrace.

The new wooden structure is covered with rubber on the outside and wood on the inside. The existing bricks of the old facades remain visible from the inside. Old and new go hand in hand. The old generation houses a fresh new generation and promises a bright future.
