The plan concerns an extension of a typical 1930’s house in a characteristic street with deep gardens. The desire to make contact with the garden has been translated by considering the new kitchen diner as two continuous walls on the plot boundaries, with sliding doors in between that can be opened wide. There was a need for a bedroom on the first floor, which has been made recognizable as a continuous volume in the ceiling of the kitchen diner. In order to get daylight into the kitchen diner, a large daylight has been created in the heart of the extension, which is placed against the volume of the construction. Because the white stucco continues from the inside to the outside and it is aligned with the skylight, the volume above appears to float. The structure of the 1930s house continues from the hallway to a new strip, which includes sanitary facilities and storage areas. The top volume connects to the house by means of the continuous gutter.
Light was used to break through the long and closed structure of the extension. The client is a cook, which means that the freestanding kitchen island is central to the space. The rooflight is placed exactly above as a central theme. This creates an interesting interplay of lines and of course fine natural light on the kitchen island. The rear facade consists of three sliding parts through which relatively unfiltered light enters the seating area. A modest canopy keeps out the bright summer sun. A nice detail is a stained glass window in the original rear facade above the stairs, which was in danger of being clogged by the roof structure. Daylight is still brought in behind the stained glass via a built-in cove containing a Solartube, so that the landing and staircase catches beautiful daylight.
