该住宅项目靠近基地一侧的横向边界，是一个现存小型建筑的扩建改造项目。原建筑内仅设有一间卧室、一间浴室和一间仓库，总建筑面积仅有24平方米，本次扩建致力于在原建筑功能空间的基础上增加一间厨房、一个服务空间和一间起居室，并将总建筑面积扩大至60平方米。

The project was based on an existing edicule located near one of the lateral boundaries of the site. The initial program contained only one bedroom, a bathroom and a warehouse that totaled 24sqm, this was expanded adding kitchen, service area and living room and turned into a 60sqm house.

本项目的预算有限，项目周期也较短，因此，材料和施工方案的选择也就变得极为重要。最终，这座住宅的更新扩建仅用时不到3个月，每平米的造价也不超过150美元。建筑师选择白色作为住宅的主色调，不仅使住宅变得严谨、小巧而精致，同时也有助于反射太阳的热量，从而使居住空间更加宜人。

The work had a restricted budget and a short time to execute, which directed the materials and the constructive method to be adopted. The construction lasted less than 3 months and cost less than $ 150sqm. The white color was adopted because it makes the house more discreet and also helps to reflect the heat of the sun, making the place more pleasant.

建筑师住宅的前侧空间内设置了一个模数化的混凝土台面，不仅可以作为备餐台，还可以作为餐桌使用，同时，大型的落地窗也为住户提供了一个良好的花园景观视野。开放的住宅空间使室内与室外的花园建立起紧密的联系，同时，也使得室内空间能够享受良好的自然通风和自然采光。
