Immediate neighbourhood is very dense, and site itself surrounded by huge houses. That is why the house is „defensive“ towards the neighbours and opens itself diagonally, in angles, to gain light, air and vistas.

Visible volume of the house is two-storey high, while the base is integrated in terrein, hiding garage and pool area. The shell of the house is light and the core dark; the spaces in between becoming terraces, loggias.

Design of the house develops from the idea of keeping privacy in a densly built area.
