Facade, Materiality, and Sustainability

The facade of the extension consists of vertical, thermally modified wood panels that are neatly framed between the floor and ceiling. These wooden accents echo through the existing part of the house, forming the new front door and garage door, creating a harmonious blend of old and new.

On the ground floor, the existing masonry has been completely stripped of old paint layers, and inside, the facade along with the structural floor has been fully re-insulated. This allows the house to be efficiently heated with a heat pump.

The multi-sided roof boasts four identical, maximized dormers. This addition creates ample space for three spacious bedrooms, a bathroom, a separate toilet, and a laundry room on the upper floor. The roof is completely re-insulated on the inside and finished on the outside with new slate tiles.

New Entrance and Master Suite

In addition to the living space, the entire entrance zone has also been redesigned. Upon entering, a new staircase leads efficiently to the first floor. The staircase partially disappears behind a new wardrobe and spacious guest toilet and is visually interrupted by a custom steel partition leading to the living area.

Opposite lies the master bedroom, equipped with a spacious custom wardrobe and en-suite bathroom. A soft materials palette has been chosen here, with beige floors and matching wall tiles. The bespoke features, along with the Xinnix doors, are made of oak, emphasizing warmth and tactility. The kitchen island is finished in soft yellow spray-painted MDF, and the white oak baseboards are recessed to make the wall lines more pronounced. The steel columns in the living room are coated in a shade that matches the anodized aluminum frames.
