With its robust timber facade, the zigzagging house extension wraps around the outdoor terrace and the beautiful waterfront Magnolia. The new living spaces open outwards and a void has been created in the center of the house for extra daylight from above.

The clients of this project, a middle-aged couple, have recently inherited this house. He grew up in this sixties house and now it has to become a home for both of them. Together we developed a plan in which we looked for a contemporary extension and making the existing house more sustainable.
