The new home had to feel especially spacious and, above all, take advantage of the view to the green area behind. In the design, we kept the main house and replaced the rear extension. The newly added volume follows the same movement as the original side façade and juts out slightly each time.

Sustainability begins with a conversation, and acquiring customer buy-in is entirely dependent on how the conversation is framed. Clients may not see sustainability as a priority out of fear of operational costs and quality. While these are legitimate concerns, it is our responsibility as architects to listen and foster a collaborative culture that answers client issues while also reducing our carbon footprint.

We were commissioned to transform an existing 2-car garage into a place where the residents could retreat and enjoy the garden. On top of that, the need for a covered parking space remained. In its original state, the existing L-shaped house embraces the terrace. By adding a new volume, we enclosed that outdoor area along the east side as well. This creates a U-shaped patio that radiates a southern atmosphere through the flamingo-pink flagstones and vegetation.
