The repetition of this modest type of house, a one-floor chalet with a garden in front and a courtyard behind, defines a small neighborhood in the district of Saavedra.

The clients needed to enlarge the house with an additional bedroom, the main one, and a big quincho / play-room. To preserve the image of the house and the neighborhood, the extension was made towards the courtyard, after demolishing a small and not original construction that was inside it. The main bedroom took the free space between the existing house and the dividing wall of the plot of land, thus shaping a main volume. The quincho / play-room, with its special geometry, formed an annex to this main volume.
