Further to the need of repairing the roof, the owner of the property desired to extend the house to the side to achieve extra living space, receiving more natural light and better perspective of the garden. The proposed works involve the rear of the property, consisting of a ground floor L-shaped extension, which will provide an improved circulation and additional space for the kitchen and living accommodation, entirely preserving the original structure of the house and the garden. In fact, there is a pre-existing opening in the original wall, now closed with bricks, that can be reopen and allow to get through into the new extension, without affecting the structure, avoiding further works on the original house. The new extension has been designed to have a minimum impact on the character of the area and lead to a high-quality architecture. preserving and enhancing the appearance of the original building. The roof will lead to an improved development in terms of energy efficiency, its cladding will match with the general background, with a minimum impact on the overall view ensuring that it does not dominate the neighbors property.
