House Rehab: Vintage Masonry Base Gets Minimal Metal Top
A clear line runs horizontally around this structure delineating old and new, a heavy base level and light addition raising the original roof base line.
Designed by BAST and set in Toulouse, France, the added section creates an expansive high-ceilinged interior and lets in additional illumination via a generous skylight above.
The original building below is left largely as it was, its limestone walls bolstered as needed with new sections of concrete and its original angled roof removed.
