The project involved the modernization and extension of a typical residential cube. The existing problem was the lack of a day on the ground floor and a non-functional terrace over an unused garage. The extension includes a living room with a terrace and a new separate garage part. The new horizontal white elements have been contrasted in colour with the dark old cube. The new living area opens up to the terrace and garden as much as possible.
