add-on solves the issueStudio needed a better working and living program, as the two residents had different schedules. Space indoors could not be altered, neither the outside of the building. The garden below could have minor alterations. of a badly programmed space by taking analogy of a parasite plant growing on a tree found in the garden on the property in the Hague. Proposal separates programs by creating an external add-onThe room facing the garden is a common 18th century dutch “serre” i.e. sun room with 3 meter tall windows. I proposed to extend space of the sunroom and create an add-on. Two screw like foundation piles will be dug in the garden soil to support the scaffold structure that gently leans against the facade. that doesn’t alter the existing structure, allowing for a more coherent use of the studio and simultaneously recirculates heat of the main building into the mistletoe office.
