The ARTAN project involves the renovation and conversion of a single-family home. The interventions are designed to improve the functionality and aesthetics of the dwelling while respecting the original architectural features.

One of the key aspects of the project is the extension, including the creation of an additional bedroom upstairs and a terrace offering direct access to the garden. This creates a direct connection between the inside and the outside environment. The entrance hall has been completely redesigned to create a bright, welcoming space.

The organisation of this new space allows fluid circulation around the garage, accentuating the feeling of openness as soon as you enter the house. The overall intervention is characterised by its sobriety and discretion, highlighting the existing architecture rather than supplanting it.

On the street side, however, a bolder approach was adopted: the existing brick wall was demolished to make way for the addition, making the scale of the project visible from the street.
