Following an earlier design for interior remodeling and a kitchen-extension that was added to the back of the residence, Studio Memo was invited to follow-up by designing a second extension: to be located at the side of the home.
The narrow structure of an existing garage is being extended forward, adding storage space, play-area for the children and an entry with space for bicycles and a stroller. A sustainable composite exterior cladding was selected to subtly contrast with the existing red brick façade.
A skylight was added to the design of the new extension to allow ample natural light to enter through the window of the existing façade. To improve insulation and the sustainability aspect of the extension, as well as for aesthetic reasons, a green roof was added: covered with mosses, sedum-vegetation and wild flowers.
