Extension of a house

The task was to extend the living room and add a dinning room.

The objectives were as follow:

1. Create an extension that would contrast with the original house.
Traditional and contemporary creates a fantastic dialog among old and new

2. Create a very “light” structure with lots of openings
The new part actually never touches the original house

Instead of building against the house, we took the option of building beside the house and gently connecting both structures with minimal glass panels
