One of the main characteristics of the project is to preserve the character of the existing building as much as possible, both as regards the façades (in brick or plaster) and the roof (in Roman canal tiles). The extension is hidden behind the existing building. It appears as a surprise. This location also offers an unhampered view on the landscape from the daily living spaces (kitchen, dining room, living room) situated in the new building. The entrance is located in an in-between space: an empty space between the existing building and the extension.
