The project’s design aims to create a seamless transition between the existing and new elements, blending them into a cohesive whole. This is achieved through careful consideration of the existing building’s form, materials, and spatial relationships. The new additions are designed to complement the existing structure, rather than compete with it. The design also incorporates elements of sustainability, such as solar panels and rainwater harvesting. The project’s design philosophy is rooted in a desire to create a home that is both beautiful and functional.
