Fig tree house
Seamlessly blending old and new
In The Hague, this house extension seamlessly blends into the expressive brick design of a 1927 building. This minimalist extension, characterized by the use of Keller minimal windows®, reveals the previously hidden beauty of the original annex and its surrounding fig tree. The original structure had an annex at the front, leading to a beautiful but obscured fig tree in the garden. The new extension extends beyond the existing width of the house, creating a semi-enclosed outdoor space that highlights the fig tree.

The minimal windows play a central role in the transformation, offering expansive glass facades that create a harmonious connection between the old and new architecture. The sleek frames ensure unobstructed views and flood the interior with natural light, creating a captivating interplay between indoor and outdoor spaces. The design concept for this house extension masterfully balances the sharp contrast between new and old while maintaining a harmonious relationship with the existing qualities of the 1927 architecture. The glass facade opens up to a large corner, skillfully integrating the dining area with the surrounding garden.
