After purchasing a 1970s house, our client approached us to make a total
metamorphosis of the building. The outdated existing house had to be
transformed into a sustainable and modern villa that fits this time. The
existing house was solidly built and the spacious layout of the house
meant that a lot of changes were possible. In our design we took into
account the preservation of as many structural parts as possible. The
existing roof disappeared in our design and we placed a new volume on
this spot by adding a light building construction (through a timber
framed construction) on the villa. All existing exterior walls remained
intact and we insulated the exterior and finished it with brick strips,
stucco and wood for a warm accent.
