the project is a private house just minutes walk from the  local village. it involved the addition of approximately 55 sqm of floor space to create two new bedrooms with private WC and showers. the area is part of the protected Luberon natural park, so there are strict rules on roof pitches and material pallettes.

the finished floor level of the extension is at parts 1.2m below-ground, so a hybrid construction system consisting of an externally insulated masonry base supporting a timber frame filled with wood fibre insulation.

the project also involved extensive landscaping and external works.
