现有的平房被限制在一个楼层。几乎有1/4的体积被一个几乎不使用的室内车库所占据。此外，房子的隔热性能特别差。居民希望对现有的体积进行有限的扩展，以便能够满足目前单户住宅的要求。此外，该房屋的能源性能必须得到优化。
The existing bungalow is limited to one floor. Almost 1/4 of its volume is taken up by an indoor garage that is hardly used. Moreover, the house is particularly poorly insulated. The residents want a limited expansion of the existing volume, in order to be able to meet the current requirements of a single-family home. In addition, the energy performance of the home must be optimized.
城市发展法规允许扩建，但最多不超过1.000立方米。这提供了一个459立方米的最大扩展空间，分布在一层，面向东西方向。在新的体积内，在房子的前面提供了一个有盖的停车空间。为了保证最佳的日光穿透现有的体量，部分体量被从建筑中切割出来，同时作为一个有盖的露台，以避免西风。
The urban development regulations allow for an extension up to a maximum of 1.000 m3. This provides a maximum extension with 459m3, spread over one storey and oriented east-west. Within the new volume, a covered parking space is provided at the front of the house. To guarantee optimum daylight penetrating the existing volume, part of the volume is cut out of the building, at the same time serving as a covered terrace sheltered from the westerly wind.
该项目试图将现有的平房交织在其环境中，并在规划和物质化方面进行一定的简化。可变的房间高度扮演了一个压缩和减压的游戏，它的重心在双层高的生活空间。
The project tries to interweave the existing bungalow within its environment with certain simplicity in planning and materialization. Variable room heights play a game of compression and decompression, which has its center of gravity in the double-height living space.
