It is a compact extension that houses three functions: a dining area, kitchen, and parking area. There is also a creative studio for the owner to provide a comfortable space to find more inspirations. This family house is also unique because it is designed with the use of one material only.

The original house has strong features that are extended in the design of this jewel-like shape. This way is done in a play with material and formal continuity. The shape is carved by local regulations and articulated through the use of a single material: brick. This material is used to generate all house’s surfaces while the lines of the house can retain a trace on some new additions.
