Removing to gain space

Part of the intermediate floor is removed to create a double height that joins both levels and multiplies the light from the historic windows.

The stair

Steel treads anchored into the stone wall, with no visible stringer, solve circulation with a sculptural gesture.

Contrast

Restored rubble walls against white joinery and furniture: old and new enhance one another.
