This two-story house with a basement and two floors above ground was extended to include a third floor with a rooftop terrace and a loft, and a two-story atrium courtyard was added to connect the stacked spaces while providing light and ventilation. The layout of the rooms was reconsidered according to the purpose of use, and a new steel staircase was installed in the stairwell to connect the spaces while separating private and public lines of flow.
