As a result of these considerations, the proposal consists in creating a new constructed perimeter surrounding a garden. By doing this, the design allows the studio to carry out two essential tasks: the first, to create continuity with the existing urban tissue by completing its layout, analogously following the uninterrupted sequence of noble villas and their adjacent open spaces that makes up such a distinctive townscape; the second, to keep and enhance the urban presence of the Casa Ragen in its surroundings by understanding the extension as an element that compliments the pre-existing building.
