The project is based on the stair position; it's placed on the center of the house in order to minimize the impact on rooms and optimize the distribution. moreover it gives a strong architectural impact.
the chosen style is quite classicl, accordinig to the appearance of the existing building, so the materials follow this guideline (materials such as woo, marble, stucco and plaster have been preferred) and the new element have been designed following this style (new windows, new doors).
There are two main solutions proposed here, those vary on the fireplace position. The first solution is represented by the fireplace placed to the est wall, whie the second one has the fireplace in a more centered position, just in front to the main entrance.
at the first floor 4 new skylights have been added to the existing roof, in order not to change the existing shape and avoid issues with the superintendence, while new vertical windows have been place on the fascia below the roof position, and false windows (with the same shape and size) have been place above the ground floor ones. This choice is for avoiding to change the architectural aspect of the building according to its style.
At the first floor 4 big bedrooms have been added and the space around the stair can be used as a study.
Outside the building, on the part facing the garden, a new terrace is set and the existing windows have been replaced with door-windows with the same style and width.
