Extension of an old house: a successful renovation combining modernity and history

The project that we are presenting to you today is that of an extension of an old house carried out for a family wishing to breathe new life into their century-old house while respecting its history. When they contacted us, their challenge was to redevelop the interior space without altering the existing structure, while bringing a touch of modernity. The house had thick walls and dark living spaces, and the family wanted to transform its interior into a bright, spacious and functional place.

The challenge was great: modernize the windows, doors, and facade of the house, while preserving the soul and character of the old architecture. After listening to the family's wishes, our architectural technologist designed a detailed renovation plan that perfectly met their expectations. The plan for the old house extension proposed keeping the original walls while reorganizing the space in order to optimize each square meter. We proposed a complete opening of the staircase, which was previously partitioned, in order to create a smoother circulation and bring natural light into the interior.

In addition, the partition separating the office from the living room was moved to enlarge the living space, thus creating a more spacious and bright living room. The bathroom design was also redesigned with the addition of new partitions to better organize the spaces and optimize storage. Additional storage spaces were integrated, a priority for this family who sought to maximize the use of each room.

Upstairs, all the floors were replaced with a new modern covering while respecting the authenticity of the house's architecture. An office space was fitted out, offering a comfortable workplace while respecting the style and history of the interior. This project was an opportunity to modernize the entire house while preserving the harmony of the century-old building.

The complete refacing of the house included the renovation of the facade and the installation of a new porch. The latter was modernized with glass partitions, bringing more light and an opening to the outside. The gallery was also modified: a more contemporary roof was installed, in order to give the house a younger and more dynamic appearance while preserving the authenticity of the structure. Each element of the project was designed with respect for the history of the house, while introducing modern solutions to improve the quality of life of the occupants.
