The house?s existing structure was in impeccable condition and DATA had merely to give it a good sand blasting to refresh the brickwork and canopy. The inside however was to undergo a complete makeover to thwart the constraints of a relatively small floor space of 120 m2. It reinvented the volume of the building while keeping its proportions.

The main room has been separated o by a wall to screen the stairwell, bathrooms, storage and technical rooms.
