On the slope of a volcano upholstered with low-cost houses, we have an opportunity to reform one of thetwo unique samples of this peculiar typology: an isolatedcottage standing on a horizontal rectangular terrain. The project, besides reforming and extending the house, has to solve the relationship of the original plot with the one above it, acquired later by the same owner. The upper part has a garage and a better access than the lower one.
Our proposal involves replacement of the various coverings and add-ons built over time by a single element: an intermediate tier between the two plots. This grandstand, which encloses the extension surface and a cosy birch tree, also resolves the problem of integrating of the two existing levels into awhole, both virtually due to its dimensional features and physically as rising tiers.
A regular consumer of thecostumbrist theatre, the Grandstand House is just a piece of this social amphitheatre of low-cost houses, wherelions no longer scratch and walls have ears.
