House Extension

The clients intention was to extend the house by adding a master bedroom, kitchen and a place for work, on the other hand adapt it to the existing, but rearranged plan of the old house. We aimed on keeping the plan compact and atmosphere of a small garden house not far from the centre of Bratislava. So the illumination of each room was our priority, connecting the communal spaces with the garden. The kitchen is illuminated by a nontraditional frameless skylight, trough wich you can see the sky without the nearby objects. The master bedroom is connected with the kitchen and so with the garden by a wide glass door. The extension is covered by wooden cladding, which evokes the peeling of a small garden house.
