The initial project concerned the creation of an extension to create a guest bedroom. But this new volume has won over the owners so much that they have decided to make it into a master bedroom and settle in.
In order to comfortably receive family and friends, the owners of this beautiful Breton house wanted to create a space entirely dedicated to guests. They thus envisioned the creation ofan extension to create an additional bedroom, and wanted to renovate the bathroom on the ground floor. The company Cybel Extension, to which they entrusted their expansion project, imagined a space facing the garden, with a zinc extension fitted with a large bay window which opens directly onto the flowered terrace. A bright and pleasant environment that immediately won over the couple. So much so that they finally decided to invest it as a parental suite to be able to enjoy it on a daily basis ! The new volume was thus leaned against the stone facade on the terrace side, and houses a nice room of 17 m2. The zinc structure blends harmoniously with the bluish stone which dresses the house, and gives the latter a modern touch without altering it. The room, bathed in light, offers its occupants a calm environment, which exudes serenity. Visit in pictures.

This beautiful Breton house offered a comfortable living space of 150 m2. Its owners nevertheless wanted to enlarge it in order to create a space reserved for guests to receive family and friends. An extension opening directly onto the terrace has therefore been added to the front of the small outbuilding on the left.

Backing onto the stone facade, the new volume now houses a master suite that the couple, seduced by the project, finally decided to occupy. Made of zinc, the extension features elegant lines, which blend perfectly into the landscape. “To facilitate access to the land, we chose a wooden frame entirely clad in zinc” explains Stéphane Toinard, head of the Cybel Extension agency in Vitré, which supervised the project. “The owners hesitated with an exterior wooden cladding, but zinc has the advantage of requiring very little maintenance. It is also a material that allows for almost flat roofs. The extension being located just under a roof. window of the first floor, we could not have made a very steep roof “.

“The owners have chosen to leave the front wall visible in the bedroom. The stone brings charm to the room and a certain cachet” stresses Stéphane Toinard. To ensure optimal comfort, the room has been insulated with wood wool, a light and ecological material.

Access to the bathroom was made through an old window. “We simply opened the lower part to be able to create a door” explains Stéphane Toinard. A pocket door resembling a workshop glass roof was then installed to ensure the privacy of the two rooms.

Completely redesigned, the room has changed its face and offers comfort worthy of a hotel suite. The old shower cubicle has been replaced by a large walk-in shower, and the small vanity unit has given way to a generous double vanity top. In order to maintain a certain luminosity, the room having become blind, light colors were favored and sets of mirrors make it possible to reflect the light.
