This architectural transformation of a 1930s suburban house introduces a three-story, light-filled volume while respecting the existing urban fabric. Utilizing a timber frame structure, the new design focuses on visual continuity, allowing daylight to permeate large windows that blur interior and exterior boundaries. The wooden facade engages with the lush garden, while the interior emphasizes transparency and functional design over formality. This project reflects MANO's mission to approach design through participatory methods and respond effectively to spatial and social challenges.
The project transforms a modest 1930s house into a generous dwelling, reinterpreting the detached pavilion typology with a three-story volume that enhances urban scale.
The house features a wooden facade contrasting with lush greenery, fostering dialogue between the structure and nature, while emphasizing transparency and spatial continuity.
MANO explores participatory and contextual design, responding to spatial and social complexities with clarity in architecture, prioritizing light, function, and materiality.
Large windows flood the interior with daylight, blurring the lines between inside and outside, while promoting a calm articulation of material and function.
