01
Adaptive construction
Design as a process of adaptation.
Retrofit construction reveals hidden constraints. On-site monitoring allows solutions to be adjusted and quality controlled without losing the concept.
02
Environmental comfort
Domestic infrastructure, not an accessory.
Natural lighting, cross-ventilation, evapotranspiration, solar water heating and flow control participate in daily life. Sustainability appears as quality of use.
The extension created new ways of living.
Retrofit as a project for people.
