In 2010, the clients, a young couple with a creative vision and great energy, commissioned the remodeling and addittion for a new house that would meet their expectations of a contemporary living place. From the beginning of the design process, the major issue was to reconcile the difference between the program requirements of this modern lifestyle and the spatial characteristics of the original fabric. It was clear early in the process, that we should take advantage of the existing spatial qualities, and add the required spaces with a logic of material and space continuity. The second floor volume is added to the house following this same strategy. It´s built entirely in steel and wood, detached and open on three sides. This volume contains the social areas and master bedroom. From here, you have access to the surrounding terrace and to the views of the ocean and trees. From inside, this volume is perceived as part of a spatial sequence that connects all the levels. From outside it is more ambiguous, it may be understood as a big inhabited skylight. The final output, blends old and new with the same generative logic.
