Built in the 1950s, the house was the object of a renovation project. It might have looked old and dark at first sight, but its “L” shape takes good advantage of the site, blocking out the internal space while providing the garden with intimacy and width.
Supported by slim metal pillars, a veranda was created along the whole “L” inner edge, and all dining and living spaces are integrated to it when the sliding doors are open, giving the feel of being under a vast marquee.
In order to improve the light distribution, several skylights and gardens were created throughout the house. Partially open surfaces also allow the passage of light, while preserving privacy in the rooms.
