• The addition was conceived as a pavilion accessed by a stair passing through a former window.  It opens a conversation between the original 19th century house and the mid-20th-century garage addition upon which it sits.  The new pavilion sits squarely on the flat roof deck of the garage, its hip roof responding – without mimicry – to the mansard roof of the house.

    The interior reveals a surprising lightness and airiness:  an informal space for work or contemplation in the manner of a contemporary solarium or a 19th-century conservatory.

  • L’agrandissement a été conçu comme un pavillon distinct, posé entièrement sur le platelage de toit du garage du milieu du xxe siècle, et l’accès se fait par un escalier qui passe à travers une ancienne fenêtre de la maison d’origine du xixe siècle. Son toit à quatre versants évoque – sans l’imiter – le toit mansardé de la maison, établissant un dialogue entre les éléments historiques du bâtiment.

    L’intérieur du pavillon dégage une étonnante impression de légèreté et d’espace : l’aire informelle, destinée au travail ou à la contemplation, présente l’aspect d’un solarium contemporain ou d’un conservatoire du xixe siècle.
