An extension on an old house: a personalized project for a loyal customer

For this particular project, our client, deeply attached to her old house with garage, wanted to be able to spend the rest of her life there surrounded by her family. This house, inherited from her childhood, had an undeniable charm, but its space was no longer sufficient to comfortably accommodate the whole family, especially with the arrival of new members. Current real estate prices made buying a new property difficult, if not impossible. It was therefore natural that she called on our team to carry out an extension on an old house in order to enlarge the space while respecting the character and soul of its original habitat.

During the first contact, our building designer offered a free consultation by videoconference to discuss the client's specific needs. This first virtual meeting made it possible to identify the broad outlines of the project and to understand the client's expectations in terms of space and expansion. Following this interview, an on-site appointment was scheduled to take precise measurements of the house and ensure that the proposed extension would be perfectly integrated into the existing structure. Our team took care to study all the elements of the house, including the facade and the garage, in order to propose a solution that would not distort the aesthetics and charm of this old house.

The biggest challenge was to design an extension on an old house that would be functional, but without altering the architectural harmony. The client wanted the extension to integrate perfectly with the existing construction, that it would not "break" the classic style of the house, while offering more space. After taking into account these constraints and the needs of the family, our designer designed plans highlighting modern materials but compatible with the architecture of the original house, thus creating a smooth and natural transition between the old and the new. The final result made it possible to double the living space while preserving the soul and character of the house.
