Reservoir House – Designed while at Hacin

The owners of Reservoir House loved their home’s setting, but its layout and design no longer reflected how they wanted to live. The house lacked an intuitive flow, and key spaces felt disconnected. They sought a solution that would create a more open, functional, and modern environment while maintaining warmth and character.

The design solution introduced a contemporary addition that seamlessly connects the existing home with its surroundings. The use of natural materials and expansive glazing maximized light and views, making the home feel more expansive and inviting. Thoughtful spatial planning improved circulation and created better connections between living areas, providing the homeowners with the flexibility they needed.

For those looking to modernize an existing home while maintaining character and warmth, Reservoir House showcases how strategic design can transform an outdated space into a harmonious and functional living environment.
