A generous garden enfolds a modest 1920s semi-detached house. The refurbishment of the existing structure was carried out using simple means. The living accommodation was extended and a link between the house and garden was created by adding a massive, sculpted base in smooth and textured fair-faced concrete. Split-levels in the new living areas act as dividing elements and lead step by step towards the garden area. Large-format windows with fitted benches create a strong rapport with the exterior.
