Venice III...
...by Marios Christodoulides

The design for this extension to an existing house is comprized of three distinct elements. A rectilinear volume contains the work area on the ground level and the bedroom above. The second element, a long thin piece running along the northern edge of the first, contains a library on the first floor and a dressing room on the second. The third element, which has three parts, incorporates a skylight over a two story volume, and a small rear building that contains a kitchen, a bathroom, and a deck.

The three elements are clearly artiqulated within the overall compositon, both through the use of different material veneers, and their geometric manipulations. The unique configuration of this addition allows it to operate both as an extension to the existing house, and also as a separate area that can be rented or sold.
