Task

Renovation and extension to an existing house. Multiple generation house - 2 families living together. 

​

Description

Interest in creating interconnected house with the new addition structure. Idea of making old and new house work separately or together depending on the day. Creating spots for both families to meet at, either inside or outside. Old house is extended by one room which allows for reorganization of the spaces and larger bathroom. Basement is opened up with small windows to allow for a new bedroom. New house addition has lowered floor height and angled roof in order not to block the sun coming into neighboring plots. Digging down also creates enough space for a roofed frontal parking space and improves sunlight conditions for the basement room. Further light improvements are made by creating openings within the new roof structure.
