The master bedroom of the house opens to the north with a large opening of sliding doors. The vertical rotating wooden slats function as a shutter, controlling the lighting and privacy of the space.

The design of the building is contextually grounded to allow maximum natural light inside. The lower floor has aluminium sliding doors on one side with double glazed glass and a sturdy aluminium frame around the edges. Movable rotating louvres not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also serve a functional purpose, controlling the light and privacy of the interior space.

A cantilevered slab provides support and access to the upper floor, which features an office that rests on top of the bedroom structure. Following a similar design, the office walls also feature full-height louvres, double glazed glass to keep the place adequately illuminated. Minimalistic curtains can be drawn for more privacy. The flat roof of the extension contrasts with the four-way roof of the existing building, introducing a simple and contemporary language.

The master bedroom is neatly furnished and features a walk-in wardrobe to one side. The arrangement serves as a creative solution to otherwise simplistic exterior design. The new design contrasts sharply with the old building, but the two merge perfectly to create a spacious, yet highly acquainted area. The white rendered façade contrasts with the black windows and the different tones and textures of the oak slats.
