One-story addition to a home. Three different slopes aligned with the existing parts

In Vaucresson, France, Rotunno Justman Architectes studio designs a new roof for an existing home equipped with different inclinations capable of lightening the addition and avoiding the massive, monolithic effect that would have "crushed" the existing house
