This architectural extension redefines the relationship between heritage and modernity. Seamlessly attached to a character-filled original dwelling, the addition embraces an organic design language—calm, grounded, and quietly confident. Natural light is a guiding force throughout, filtering in through considered openings that frame views and create a shifting interplay of shadow and texture. The architecture prioritizes volume and flow, offering a generous sense of space without overwhelming the intimate scale of the home.

What sets this project apart is its personal, expressive interior language: a curated mix of natural materials, handmade elements, and warm minimalism that invites lived-in authenticity. It's a modern intervention that doesn’t impose—it listens, responds, and completes the narrative of the home.
