MON House & Brick Extension / (ma!ca) architecture
The MON house, with its large north-facing garden, had very little natural light and the living space on the ground floor was segmented into too many sections with low ceilings. Load-bearing walls and partitions have been removed in order to create a homogeneous and airy place.
Contemporary Steel Extension Providing Open Living Space
To meet the need for expansion, the agency recommended that the house be renovated by occupying the night area, giving it more intimate spaces, and designing a contemporary steel extension, by means of a very open volume for the day spaces.
