Low cost home extension

Salvan, Switzerland

This project suggests that everyone deserves the benefit of good design, even with a very tight budget.

This project consists of juxtaposing a volume to an already-existing villa, a kind of a space which would fulfill its function as new foyer, car shed/car port as well as storage room.

The roof geometry, shaped in several sides allows to fraction the height of the volume and to reduce the size of the new construction. Its façade made of raw larch contributes to the harmonious and discrete integration into the existing village setting.
