Looking to design a home for the Sizaret family of four, our project strived not only for the restoration but also for an extension of the pre-existing building as a way of achieving an area more suitable to the whole diversity of activities needed and requested. After research was concluded, that extension materialized in a pentagonal zinc-lined volume resembling the universal archetype of a house extruded from the back façade and widely into the garden. Aside from an uncluttered approach, we also tried to achieve a spatial dialogue between openness and privacy, shifting from luminous to more somber and intimate rooms.
