在新扩建的中心是餐厅，就在一楼重新设计的厨房旁边。它的中心有一个宽敞的南面玻璃和一张大餐桌。主卧室位于餐厅下面，俯瞰沉没的花园。尽管使用了木包层，但由于玻璃面板被推到其尺寸限制，扩展具有轻盈和透明的感觉。外漆是一种橄榄绿染色松树与外悬玻璃卷包覆镀锌钢。

At the center of the new extension is the dining room just off the re-modeled kitchen on the ground floor. It has generous south-facing glazing and and a large dining table at its center. The master bedroom is located below the dining room overlooking the sunken garden. Despite the use of wood cladding, the extension has a sense of lightness and transparency due to the glass panels being pushed to their dimensional limits. The exterior finish is an olive green stained pine with an overhanging glazed volume clad in galvanized steel.
