该地区以起伏的山丘和山谷为特征，有间歇性的海景。设计部分扩大了现有小平房的面积，这是一个典型的乡村别墅，最初建于60年代，经过了几次小的干预，但没有什么建筑价值。新的改建结合了现有的有盖门廊作为新的内部区域的一部分。建筑面积从105平方米增加到150平方米。

The region is characterized by rolling hills and valleys, with intermittent views of the sea. The design parti expands the area of the existing small bungalow, a typical countryside cottage originally constructed in the 60s, which has undergone several minor interventions, but of little architectural value. The new alteration incorporates the existing covered porch as part of the new interior area. The floor area has been increased from 105 m2 to 150m2.

朝向花园的主要东面和远处的一个小山谷，被新的玻璃围封的门廊框住了。原来的房子有两间卧室，一间三间浴室，一间厨房，一个双高天花板的起居区，以及一个周围的门廊，感觉太小了，被客人们围住了。设计师们立即认识到有必要扩大室内建筑面积，打开现有的外墙，并将门廊作为新平面图的一部分。现在两间卧室都有一个三件套的浴室。还增加了一间化妆室为客人服务。

The main eastward view toward the garden and a small valley beyond, have been framed by the new glass enclosed porch. The original house which comprised two bedrooms, one three piece bathroom, kitchen, living area with a double height ceiling, and a surrounding porch, was felt to be too small and enclosed by the clients. The designers recognized immediately the need to expand the interior floor area, by opening up the existing exterior walls, and using the porch as part of the new floor plan. Both bedrooms now each have a three piece ensuite bathroom. A powder room has also been added to serve guests.

新的设计使一个向内的蜂窝住宅变成了一个现代的开放概念家，交织了内部和外部空间。厨房和生活区被组合在一起，就像门廊一样，创造了这些内部空间的视觉连续性，然后朝着卓越的外部视图打开。实际上，外墙是“已移动的”的，以便带来更多的自然光，以及在房子本身内创造一个开放的空间；与原来的房子相比，小的小空间是黑暗的和向内的。在与花园有关的一个高架的平面上，建造了一个花柱，把房子栖居到一个高架的平面上。该顶部平面用作公共空间，通过将地板处理从内部引导到外部，有效地将内部与露台和游泳池甲板连接。

The new design has transformed an inward looking cellular house into a modern open concept home, interlacing interior and exterior spaces. The kitchen and living areas were combined, as were the porch, to create a visual continuity of these interior spaces, which were then opened up toward the excellent exterior views. In effect, the exterior walls were “shifted” out, in order to bring in more natural light, as well as create a sense of open space within the house itself; in contrast with the original house whose small celular spaces were dark and inward looking. A stylobate was created to perch the house onto an elevated plane in relation to the garden. This top plane acts as a common space, effectively connecting the interior with the patio and pool deck by extending the floor treatment from interior directing through to the exterior.
