Extension of a House in Pian-Médoc

On the outskirts of Bordeaux, a young family resides in a detached house amidst nature. The couple decided to extend the walls and partition the house to accommodate their evolving daily routines of family life, teleworking, and personal space. The result was an extension project that reconfigured their home and added additional volumes.<br /> The project aimed to maintain the original Mediterranean-style architecture of the building while integrating the extensions seamlessly. The house features arches and ochre colours that needed to be preserved. <br /> <br /> The garage was transformed into an office, and an annexe was added to the house, now used as a storage area. This addition also created a patio area around the living room and kitchen, doubling the ground floor's living area. The extension on the first floor is now home to a master suite, further increasing the living space.<br /> <br /> The entire upstairs area has been redesigned to accommodate the family, freeing up the ground floor for guests regularly invited to stay in this 'hostel' house.<br /> <br />
