Modern extension on an old house: a project that combines tradition and modernity

It is sometimes difficult to part with the house that is dear to us, even when it becomes too small or no longer meets the needs of a constantly changing family. This is the situation in which our clients found themselves, who wanted to preserve the charm of their old house and benefit from a more modern living space. They therefore called on our team to design a modern extension on an old house.

The project consisted of excavating the earth in the basement to allow the enlargement of the right side of the house, thus creating a new living space. The objective was to transform and enlarge the living room while modernizing all the open spaces including the dining room, the kitchen and the living room. Such an arrangement made it possible to reorganize the spaces in a fluid, bright and functional way, while adding a modern dimension that did not alter the historic character of the house. The layout of the new spaces was designed to maximize natural light, with large windows creating continuity between the interior and the exterior. The project also included a complete exterior refacing of the house, an essential step to harmonize the facades and give a new contemporary look to the whole. The Farmhouse inspiration, chosen for the exterior cladding, made it possible to elegantly unite the old and the modern. The refacing not only modernized the exterior appearance, but also reinforced the insulation and energy performance of the house, thus providing more comfort to the occupants.

The modern extension on an old house gave the house a new lease of life, while respecting its history and original architecture. The project was able to combine the practical requirements of the clients and the constraints of the existing structure to create a pleasant, modern and functional living space.
