To fit the needs of the client and ensure his and his family’s wellbeing, we have made several transformations on the house. The stairs have been repositioned to benefit from the northern façade. The garden has been raised to create an access right from the kitchen on the ground floor. We created an areaway to bring in natural light and ventilation to the basement.

The volumetry of the house has also been redesigned for both formal and functional purposes. The new external envelope is meant to fit local climate and environmental specificities. Therefore, we created a ventilated facade on the Southern side to assure good isolation as the weather conditions in the region can be hard.

For security and intimacy concerns, we created metallic floral moucharabiehs which offer protection and anticipate further transformation of the façade, as house owners usually add fences to their windows for security matters.
