Lucas Freire Architecture: Winner of International Residential Architecture Awards 2020. The renovated house was given an extension to be used as a Guest House.

Making use of the garden and full privacy from neighbours, it becomes a great place to enjoy a calm sunny morning.

The extension includes a double bedroom, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom, separated from the rest of the house.

As this was a partial renovation, breaking the whole back of the house.

The backside of the building overlooks quite a big garden. The Guest House gets a lot of natural light and allows its roof to be used as a terrace.

The old brick walls, separating the adjacent properties were kept and cleaned, in order to preserve the memory of the place and the old gardens.

The office was designed in a way that the whole bookshelf could become a closet. Even the separations are mobile. So that it can be decided later to have a different purpose.

In the bathroom we decided to make a triangle-shaped countertop, to allow a smooth circulation. Three massive oak boards, designed taking into account the lavabo chosen and the baskets, so they could fit underneath.
