2007年，目前的业主要求增加别墅的额外空间，因为原来的设计没有足够的空间满足年轻家庭的需要。他们的愿望是建立一个图书馆来存储家庭藏书。同时，这个房间也应该用作书房或客房。为了创造额外的空间，选择了解决地下膨胀在露台位置的问题。这样做，建筑物的原始体积和组成将保持原样。图书馆旁边还有一个额外的浴室和游戏室。在地面以下的空间将沐浴在阳光下，从上面的多个玻璃屋顶灯，这是精心整合在花园的设计以及。

In 2007, the current owners of the villa asked for the addition of extra space as in the original design was not enough room for the needs of the young family. Their desire was to create a library to store the families book collection. At the same time, this room should also be used as a study or guestroom. In order to create the extra space, it was chosen to solve the expansion underground at the location of the patio. By doing this, the original volume and composition of the building will remain intact. Next to the library, also an additional bathroom and games room is created. The spaces below ground level will bathe in the sunlight from above by the multiple glass rooflights which are carefully integrated in the garden design as well.

露台内的地板是新设置的，其特点与起居室和室外露台的最初设计中使用的石材相同。这增强了室内逐渐消失到花园中的效果。这些石头是从意大利采石场进口的。

The floor inside the patio is newly set up and features the same stone as was used in the original design for the floor of the living room and outdoor terraces. This enhances the effect that the interior gradually fades into the garden. The stones are imported from an Italian quarry.
