The intervention involved the partial demolition and reconstruction of a small single-storey house located in a medium-density residential area near the historic center of Pordenone.
The house occupies the east side of a small lot and is on the opposite side of the vehicle and pedestrian entrance.
Respecting the constraints set by the legislation, it was decided to maximize the obtainable volume, making full use of the height of the pre-existing building in order to obtain an additional floor and a flat roof on the first floor.
In this way, a walkable surface almost double that of the existing one was obtained. The existing internal distribution was overturned, creating a large and airy living area, with large sliding windows located on opposite sides of the lounge and dining area, with a study, a bathroom, a laundry room and a pantry separate from the kitchen.
On the first floor there is access to a large external terrace both from a further open space study and from the double bedroom, equipped with bathroom.
The covered area of the building remained unchanged.
