This system, which contains the kitchen, the wardrobes, the library and stairs, connects the sources of light on both extreme ends of the house, and brings comfort to the core through the light-colored birch wood.

We also integrated a small study room next to the living-room, where before a closet was obstructing the sun-light. As for the private areas, the triangle shower-patio-bedroom encourages a new way of seizing the house – more spontaneous and connected to the outdoors.”  Image Courtesy © Ricardo Oliveira Alves  Image Courtesy © Ricardo Oliveira Alves  Image Courtesy © Ricardo Oliveira Alves  Image Courtesy © Ricardo Oliveira Alves  Image Courtesy © Ricardo Oliveira Alves  Image Courtesy © Ricardo Oliveira Alves  Image Courtesy © Ricardo Oliveira Alves  Image Courtesy © Ricardo Oliveira Alves  Image Courtesy © Ricardo Oliveira Alves  Image Courtesy © Ricardo Oliveira Alves  Image Courtesy © Ricardo Oliveira Alves  Image Courtesy © Ricardo Oliveira Alves  Image Courtesy © Ricardo Oliveira Alves  Image Courtesy © Ricardo Oliveira Alves  Image Courtesy © Ricardo Oliveira Alves  Image Courtesy © Ricardo Oliveira Alves  Image Courtesy © ARRIBA  Image Courtesy © ARRIBA  Image Courtesy © ARRIBA  Image Courtesy © ARRIBA
