Roof top home extension

Gianni Versacestraat in Rotterdam

​

The last house of the row was originally designed by ir. bart duvekot architecten as triangular volume following the urban fabric with a flat roof. The family was in need of two extra sleeping rooms for the daughters and asked us to come with a solution that respects the original architecture. We proposed to simply stretch the gabled roof up to the triangular shape and fill the end facade completely with windows.
