A single family home from the 1930s, located in an architecturally homogeneous, green residential area,
was to be expanded. Although fl oor area is almost doubled, when looking at the expansion from the
street it appears as a slender, dynamic sculpture that unfolds itself towards the rearward garden.
A new entrance is nestled against the existing building by an obtuse angled bend and protruded glazing
that offers initial views of the garden. Adjacent to it an ample kitchen-living room opens up. Together
with a living room and study located in the old building it embraces a spacious terrace from two sides.
Master bedroom, children’s bedrooms and a bathroom are located upstairs. By an additional stairway the
upper level can be divided into two separate zones. The fl at roof of the expansion is crowned by a roof
terrace and a jacuzzi.
