The extension consists mostly of glass and at the back façade a guillotine screen has been added that serves as a sunblind. A living screen was installed at the street side which improves sound regulation and air quality. Due to the frequent use of glass and the multifunctional spaces, the house has a voyeuristic side. There is a great transparency between the garden and the interior spaces, so the urban greenery can be perceived from the inside. Through the glass floor between the dental practice and the classroom, the practice can be observed from above during training. On the second floor, the bedrooms of the client and his roommate are connected with a shared open bathroom.
