A home created through extension allows you to add spaces necessary for current living while inheriting the memories and charms of the house you have lived in so far. You can create new living places tailored to changes in lifestyle, such as an expanding family or the need for workspace and hobby areas. By carefully considering the connection with the existing part, materials, and how light enters, the old and new spaces blend naturally, giving birth to a new expression as a single home. By rethinking the relationship with the garden or improving the traffic flow, you can also update the house into a more livable home than before. This introduces an extension home that overlays a new lifestyle while utilizing the existing residence.
