The original volume, measuring 11 x 6.6 metres, was divided transversely into five modules, two of which formed a covered terrace. The floor plan of the interior of the hut was L-shaped and out of proportion to the volume itself. We proposed to expand the floor plan of the shelter and unify the volume, creating one large open living space.
The new part was glazed on three sides, thus ensuring direct contact with the surrounding nature. The original half-hipped roof had its perimeter interrupted on the front south façade, so we extended the roof volume and terminated the half-hipped roof, giving us a covered loggia, shading the glazed gable and covering the ground floor terrace.
The dominant feature of the interior is a dark wood joinery wall that forms the kitchen and a hidden door to the rest of the cottage. Contrasting this area is the use of green onyx which lines the worktop in the kitchen and is visible from the bathroom. Due to its translucent qualities, it offers a play of light and colour when illuminated in the bathroom.
We use a combination of direct and indirect lighting to create the desired atmosphere. The rest of the interior is decorated in natural neutral colours with an emphasis on comfortable relaxation in nature.
