We were approached by a couple who bought an older family house in the village where they live and want to modify it for themselves for the time when they raise their children and stay only together. Both are doctors and Mr. Michael also paints.

We had a pretty free hand in how to deal with the space. At the same time, we wanted to preserve the rural character and proportions of the existing house as much as possible and keep it essentially one-story.

So we proposed the reconstruction of part of the house to the street, with a single attic room that serves as a studio and has a generous skylight facing north, so that there is enough diffused light in the room.
