SB House
Renovation of a 1959 house with an added second floor. Contemporary language, steel-framed cantilever and reuse of the original oak beams crafted into the new staircase.
The project starts from a 1959 house to which a second floor is added, dedicated to the bedrooms. This move frees up the ground floor to fully redistribute the social spaces, maximising their function and daily use.
The kitchen is renewed as a leading piece, modern and open to the common areas. The new volumetry is resolved in a contemporary architectural language: a steel-framed cantilever and EIFS cladding mark the current character of the extension, in deliberate dialogue with the original body of the house.
A key decision of the project is the reuse of the existing oak roof beams: dismantled, recovered and transformed into the home's new staircase. The piece acts as a material bridge between the two ages of the house — the 1959 hardwood now literally carries the circulation toward the added level.
