The project involves the renovation of a terraced single-family house located in a relatively urban and dense context, although it benefits from an open public space at the front façade.

At the rear, one of the two existing extensions was demolished to allow more natural light into the living room and to create direct access to the outdoors. The fireplace and the water pump are preserved within this new outdoor space, which is transformed into a planted patio. The volume of the remaining extension is maintained, with only a new opening created at ground floor level to connect the kitchen to the patio. The flat roof of the extension has been renovated to improve its performance.

The rear façade and the extension have been insulated with exposed dark natural cork, offering improved thermal comfort while introducing a more contemporary contrast to the rest of the house.

Inside, the layout of the house is largely preserved. Only one major change was made: an opening was created on the second floor between the bedroom and the bathroom to improve access and better suit a more contemporary lifestyle.

Outside, the garden is preserved and densified with native species to enhance existing biodiversity, which is already supported by a wet area, two cherry trees, and a walnut tree—reinforcing the woodland-like character of the space. The terrace, in turn, is left in its raw, natural state.
