Extension

THISS Studio has transformed the ground floor of an interwar terraced house in Clapton, East London. The practice has reimagined a compact kitchen and dark living room to introduce volume, light and fresh personality with a thoughtful rear extension conceived as an exquisite piece of joinery topped with a sweeping aluminum canopy.

To renovate an old country house, the project of Anexo Capivari, located in Campos do Jordão-SP, and signed by the office VAGA Arquitetura, stands out for its unique approach to transformation, through the coupling of an annex structure to the original residence, which redefines the living and coexistence experience.

The design is a creative response to the constraints and opportunities presented by the site, and Dulwich Estate requirements, resulting in an original take on the typical domestic extension project. The clever roof design articulates privacy, light and views to maximize enjoyment of the space and garden for the large family of seven.

The intervention expands a single-family home in Aravaca to create one more floor to introduce a new home. The renovation consists of making the terrace located on the top floor of the house habitable to house an independent apartment for the family’s son.

A discreet store that welcomes a universe of charms. With the growth in sales, the space of just one container became too small for Garimpê, a store curated with children’s products that stimulate children’s development and creativity. In addition to expanding the exhibition area, it was also necessary to accommodate the administrative sector. Located on a corner lot in Curitiba, the store’s expansion has two implementation strategies: the enrichment of customers’ relationship with the natural landscape of the land and the creation of an exhibition showcase for the city, through the expansion of the facade to the street main. From there, two new containers were connected to the pre-existing container, thus maintaining the store’s external constructive identity.
