A few years ago ‘dmva architects’ were requested to design an extension to an A-framed house in order to reconvert an holiday home into a comfortable, contemporary house.

The back and the frontside of the new building are fully glazed, allowing full view on the garden and pond. Views from streetside are interrupted by a movable partition wall. The architectural concept is based on a dialogue between old and new, cosiness and openness, glass and wood and linked by materiality and details.
