Renovation of a residence, creation of a dental practice, and construction of an extension

‍

The existing building was characterized by a main two-story volume, including cellars, crowned by a gabled roof. A second flat-roofed volume, on a single level, was juxtaposed to the latter. The extension we propose aims to rationalize the circulation between these two volumes and reconfigure the different levels by integrating a kitchen on the ground floor and a bathroom upstairs. Our primary intention in this project was to assert the innovative and contemporary character of the extension while highlighting the distinctive yet harmonious relationship between the past and the present. Indeed, we firmly believe that in the context of our cities and countryside, this constant dialogue between the old and the new enriches architectural singularity.

We have endeavored to seamlessly integrate the project into its immediate environment through clean volumetrics and the use of traditional materials. We have opted for a facade of red-brown facing bricks, white rendering, as well as darker-toned exterior joinery to accentuate the volume's details. The project has been meticulously designed to preserve the overall appearance of the existing building while meeting the programmatic requirements of the client.
