At the heart of this renovation is a thoughtfully crafted extension that fills the architectural void created by the house's split-level design. Generous glazing on both sides enhances natural light, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. The design ensures that the ground floor living areas are organized around a central core, which serves as the focal point of the home. This core not only adds functionality but also contributes to the overall architectural harmony of the residence.
