Text description provided by the architects. There is a clear difference between the two moments of the house: the pre-existing object renewal and the contemporary intervention. The idea is allied with the recovery of the most significant elements of the semi-detached condition: the main façade and the mansard roof shape.
The new structural skeleton assumes the essence of the extension, defining a set of new spaces in the exterior that recreate the relationship between the garden and the view.
In addition, the work includes the maintenance of the general interior space and the recovery of the existing finishes.
The project benefits the historic identity of the dwelling, establishing a past-present relationship between the contemporary extension and the old house.
