Restoration of an old house built about 100 years ago. Because the owner demanded a warm home, barrier free, while enhancing the design, there was a need to reinforce the structure, the insulation performance and ease of living around the water. By extending the hip roof, we devised to put the light in former earthen kitchen from high windows. This old house has been registered as cultural property.
