To the east, the house works more smoothly to estabilish relations with its surroundings; the architectural language now allows more room for decoration and the modulation of surfaces.

The treatment of the solid volumes, the changing and shitting sightlines and the use of a variety of materials- all these serve to create a complex space that is almost urban in effect. This is an agglomeration of buildings that interact and intersect, defining private spaces for the family and also more public areas for parties and receptions.
