This contemporary intervention made it possible to add another floor (retreated). However, the restructuring of the organisation of the space has kept the ground floor organisation and the existing spatial relationships between the rooms largely unchanged. It also maintains the existing alignment and reintroduces the practice of the added floors, but without this visually imposing itself on the façade. On the other hand, the choice of materials makes it possible to demarcate the intervention, which contributes to reading the authenticity of the building.
