In their latest project, Steffen Welsch Architects stitches together a family home through a thoughtfully inserted extension.
An extension on an existing home, The Kite by Architecture Architecture is a pocket of open and functional space which gracefully escorts one from indoors to the outdoors.
The use of wood for the structure was chosen because it allowed a clean and fast construction process and a lightweight building limiting the ecological impact on the site.
The new extension of the house negotiates between two buildings of different eras and allows the old house to open itself up to natural light and ventilation and provide a large open plan living and dining area.
