The sculptural form of this extension is a nice contrast with the minimal  expression of the 1950’s house. The shape of the extension and the position  of it’s windows are carefully related to the interior functions. The skylight in  the highest point provides extra daylight to flood the kitchen desk.  The stretched window in the back facade provides a panoramic view into  the garden.
