This level 4 building was renovated from an office that was built in 1970. |
  |
The homeowners are an older couple, hoping this new home can bring a contemporary architectural space, meeting both the purpose of living and saving energy. |
  |
The original design of the house was a series of two interlocking squares that formed the basis for the new layout on the ground floor. After renovation, the ground floor became a large space, containing both the living room and bedroom. |
  |
The old office space now includes a bedroom and a smaller office. |
The main volume contains the living areas, now opened up by a new structural plan, beneath a distinctive pyramidal roof. |
 |
The facade is fully glazed to emphasize the new relationship with the outdoors and can be opened by large sliding window frames. |
 |
The architect used simple concrete columns and ceilings that hide the aluminum of the window frames and give the slate roof a light, low-detail appearance that appears to float above the living space. |
 |
The boundaries between inside and outside have been blurred by streams of light and materials. |
