The project involved to improve the usability of some rooms with the creation, on the south façade, of a bow-window raised from the ground formed by a light iron structure containing the sun-blinds and the totally openable windows.

This solution, created as a result of the need to recover the balcony space on the first floor to make the narrow bedroom livable, is in line with the typological solution of the façade of the 1930s, but reinterpreted in a current way.

The bow-window also makes it possible to significantly improve the usability of the living room, which is enhanced by a winter garden. The brise soleil have the function of shielding the south façade by the sun's rays and protecting the house against intrusions.
