Ajout Rosemont 1

The project consists of the addition of a second floor on a small house of 1 level measuring 25 'by 28' and located at the bottom of lot, 60 'from the sidewalk. The layout of the interior and exterior spaces is determined by the remote position of the house on the ground. The ground floor becomes a large crossing space that opens onto a terrace and a large garden located in the front yard. The space of the front yard is, in turn, separated from the sidewalk by a wall repeating the materiality of the facade. The aesthetics of the façade expresses the organization and functions of the levels by alternating between its opaque surfaces and its openings. This very sober and regular rhythm is modulated by the use of contrasting materials such as a dark masonry facing and very clear galvanized steel.
