Because of the extruded window frames, how do solve the thermal bridging that will occur? How do you insulate the window frame and the brick at their junction? Apart from that, great use of raw materials + the black brick with wood works great. Question…

It sure does depress me even looking at it. Maybe its just me, but black bricks remind me of the inside of a furnace. Black bricks remind me of a war torn region. And the interiors make the house look like its a reminder of what was once a happy home. I love stark minimalism. This is just depressing. Sorry, design fail all around. Wow.

It's a nice budget in France for this kind of restructuration. Here half of the project is restructuration and half is new. I guess a full 230 sqm project would be at least 20-30% more expensive. And the budget doesn't count the site + original house value. Together you probably get something around the 1~1.2 million. Wow, Sydney is that much expensive?

It looks cozy and warm. The 'shower in the bedroom issue' could easily be solved by a simple glass divider wall and adds a rather exotic feel to the space. The combination of materials works really well and it's nice to see the minimal use of wood, it really pops! Cheers.
