The house had weaknesses in its spatial organization, with missing space in some areas and wasted space in another ones.  Image Courtesy © FRARI architecture network

The unification of the two initial plots, with a total of about 1300 m2, allowed a new configuration of the volume, that was extended horizontally, reinforcing the connection with the outside environment.

For this reason the facades were partially covered with composite panels, creating a skin that unifies the architectural piece. The old and the new come together! The vertical patio that limits the entry moment makes the connection between the existent construction, and new construction, leaving that part as an open area.

The living room is, in both sides, limited by glass walls, that provides total sunlight from the south side and, at the same time, direct access and views for the backyard, with the swimming pool, barbecue area, children’s playground, deck area and the gardens.
