The compact bungalow was already expanded at the end of the 60s, over time the extension and the original volume have become a whole. The new renovation and extension acts on this slow aging process, while the house is opened up even more to the overwhelming garden.

The design-process responds to the already present elements of the architecture, especially the atmosphere of the original structure is preserved. New interventions have a clear character but serve the original space. The architecture creates confusion, existing and new interventions merge into each other.

The extension grafts itself onto the existing volume and blends through its materialization with the imposing treetops. The proximity of the garden is enhanced by the position of the new window openings, making the volume behave like a crow's nest towards the garden.
