Garage Extension
The project aims to create a new multipurpose space for the house by renovating its garage and creating a solarium.
The house boasts typical Arcachon architecture, with a significant overhanging roof, brickwork embellishing the windows, and redwood cladding. The garage, located off-centre from the main body of the house, is a simple-looking building. The plan is to use traditional Arcachon mouldings to crown the garage door, mirroring the house's facade.
The garage roof has the potential to be transformed into a lush green terrace that serves multiple purposes, such as sunbathing, painting, reading, and more. The presence of railings that double as planters distinguishes this new green space.
This project offers the opportunity to combine different activities into one area where you can relax, park your vehicle, store your gardening tools, or host friends. With a direct view of the velodrome, the owners can now attend events held in the summer from the comfort of their terrace.
