Tilleuls

Tilleuls project is a typical example of housing in residential areas. Plot divided to generate profit, house too small, too much partitioned, not adapted anymore to the current lifestyle and not insulated. A typology of project that architectes will have to deal with more often to transform the existing situations, avoid land impact of new neighborhoods, and improve energy consumption of buildings.  Philippe Billard Philippe Billard The project quickly heads toward a renovation of the existing building, energetically and spatially, completed by an extension. The partition of the house has been redesigned. The side of the entrance is changed to face the street and create a filter between public and private. The ground floor... Altro

Solitair

In Lelystad, a detached house for a retired couple was renovated and provided with an extension on ground level, making the house suitable for lifelong living. The existing garage was made somewhat smaller; it now houses a bathroom and a built-in wardrobe. The extension houses the new bedroom, which is virtually freestanding in the garden. Jeroen Musch The structure has the solitary character of a garden house, because it is attached to the existing house like a peninsula. From the existing house, you walk through the utility room into a new hall with the bathroom attached. You enter a new world via a lock-like passage. Here you have the feeling that you are staying in the middle of the garden as in a shack in nature.  Jeroen... Altro

House For A Cellist

Our clients wanted to improve their existing traditional Victorian terrace house by adding a rear extension, refurbishment and reconfiguration of the traditional plan. The design has delivered a bright home, with distinctive design moments scattered throughout the house, such as the circular skylight and a timber cladded wedge-shaped amenity room that enhances the openness and natural light intake of the interior, revealing an ideal place for our musician client to practice.  Nick Dearden We added a generous single-storey ground floor rear extension, with a roof terrace above, replacing old additions to the house (dating to the 1970's and 1990's). The ground floor plan has the kitchen at the front of the house, a spacious, privat... Altro

Maison Saint-Laurent

  The clients have tasked the studio with a project involving the expansion of a bourgeois house dating back to 1810, alongside the restructuring of its ground floor. Situated within a sprawling property resembling an "archipelago" with various buildings scattered across two hectares of land, the extension is envisioned as a cohesive addition to the overall setting. Hethos   Situated within a rural landscape, the Saint-Laurent house stands at the center of a vast property. One of its distinctive features is its adjacency to several auxiliary structures, including an unused outbuilding. The proposed extension of the main house is viewed as a chance to increase living space in currently cramped and dimly lit areas, while als... Altro

House WADD

L'ampliamento di questa casa situata nella campagna di Aalter (Fiandre) è stato concepito come un padiglione, collegato come appendice alla casa esistente. Le stanze molto buie e chiuse della casa esistente sono state ridotte a funzioni secondarie come ripostiglio, angolo TV e home office. Gli spazi abitativi della nuova sezione si sviluppano in contrasto con la casa esistente come spazi molto luminosi, immersi nel carattere verde del giardino e del vasto paesaggio circostante. Johnny Umans L'aspetto fragile dell'ampliamento deve sottolineare la sensazione di padiglione, dividendo i passaggi in un percorso interno ed esterno creato da ariose tettoie che fungono da ombrelloni e da terrazza coperta. Il risultato è la sensa... Altro

Inside Outside Room

Lavoisier: Inside Outside Room The project started with a wish from the client to create more space for the living floor of their house. The 1,5 meter level difference between the living room and the garden, which was at first seen as a constraint, became a source of inspiration to create a large room at the floor level of the garden but at the ceiling level of the living floor, integrating both spaces, but keeping them separate at the same time Tim Van De Velde Tim Van De Velde Tim Van De Velde Tim Van De Velde This process resulted in a volume of 7/5/4 meters totally open to the garden with a fully openable accordion door and offering the living floor a balcony relation to the new space. With an entire window fa&... Altro

ConForm adds a marble extension to a traditional London terrace

Nel tranquillo quartiere londinese di Hampstead, lo studio di architettura britannico ConForm ha completato la ristrutturazione interna di una tradizionale terrazza vittoriana. L'estensione in marmo della casa, costruita di recente, è una caratteristica particolare. Lorenzo Zandri "L'ampliamento monolitico sembra interamente scavato nel marmo", spiega Conform. In termini pratici, collega un piano terra riconfigurato con il giardino posteriore e introduce volume e luce nei precedenti spazi abitativi bui e scollegati. Il brief del cliente richiedeva un interno funzionale e sereno, una migliore circolazione e stoccaggio e una zona pranzo e di intrattenimento flessibile e spaziosa. Descritta come una "famiglia impegnata con i b... Altro

Zinc House Extension, The Grange, Edinburgh

Our client purchased this Victorian property in 2018. The original layout placed the main living rooms at the front, overlooking the street.

Marfa Suite by DUST draws inspiration from the vernacular of the classic Texan adobe home

The Marfa Suite by DUST is an extension to a one-bedroom adobe structure in Marfa, Texas called the Mud House, which was originally designed by Rael San Fratello. Providing an additional refuge when friends and family visit, the owners requested the suite be low-maintenance and earthen in appearance to complement the character of their original home. As such, the primary materials are a simple palette of earth block, concrete, and glass.  Casey Dunn Measuring 36’ x 36’ in plan and featuring 16’ high walls, the suite draws inspiration from the poetic pragmatism and vernacular of Marfa’s numerous adobe homes, including those by Donald Judd. In addition to material integration in its context, the suite is als... Altro

Magri Williams Architects carefully explore form and materiality to achieve soft transitions between new and existing

In the Stroud Green Conservation Area of North London, the sensitive surrounding context was the starting point for this full-width rear extension by Magri Williams Architects. By carefully exploring form and materiality, the architects have achieved a soft transition between new and existing.  Ståle Eriksen The overall form of the extension responds to the form of the original building and its roof angles with pitched blocks that are stepped. This step helps to define the interior character of the extension’s space and the step is further echoed in the landscape.  Ståle Eriksen The transition between indoors and outdoors is navigated with large square window frames, a pivot door and an angled roof li...

Villa E by C.F. Møller Architects references iconic Aarhus University project

Located in the Danish district of northern Aarhus, the concept, materials and level of detail of Villa E are inspired by the iconic Aarhus University, also designed by C.F. Møller Architects. References to the university can be seen in the villa’s basic composition of four simple saddle roof houses, which together form the frame of the family home.  C.F. Møller Architects / Julian Weyer The material expression of the villa is carried by three primary materials: brick, oak and natural stone. Rustic hand-painted bricks in shades of red are used for the façade and roof tiles. Alongside this, natural stone is applied to the stairs and inner core. Oak features both inside and outside. On the exterior, oa... Altro
