A void as centerpiece...

By adding two extra wings to the existing composition, a house occurs that still carries the spirit of the original farm.

Breaking up the program into three smaller volumes allows to respect the small-scale grain of the hamlet.

The void in the middle of the composition, let's us place the 3 volumes just next to each other, without letting them merge, which helps to integrate this contemporary house in its rural context.
