The addition is a small but spectacular signature building characterized by complex geometry and detailing; the concept is based on the idea of a “steel bridge structure”, fully visible in the finished building. Two-story trusses rest on two steel crosses on each side of the existing villa. The steel trusses make it possible to cantilever the structure over 10 meters to each side, thus establishing a carport in the east and a covered outdoor pool in the west. The “bridge structure/truss” also allow to form a continuous gallery of almost 30m, in which has been accommodate the extensive art collection of the Client.
