One box is placed on the ground and the other raised in the air on a thin steel columns on one part and on the other part on a stone foundation. The floor of the ground floor is in unified level and the house is partly dugged into the mountain.

The volume built on the ground, covered with stone similar in color to the local stone. In this area are designed the children’s bedrooms, safe room, and various service rooms.

The outside area in the east side of the house, continues the public space that includes an outdoor kitchen, terraced seating area and a dining table. constant eye contact between inside and outside is maintained thanks to the use of wide glazing systems and installing hidden shading systems. The separation between the volumes and the insertion of natural light deep into the house, emphasizes the distinction between private and public and allow insertion of light deep into the house, which is wide in proportion.

Inside the house, length , width and opened views are created from the front door to the landscape, in the opposite direction from the patio, which is located in the covered in stone volume toward the outdoor kitchen.

The design allows constant invasion of the greenery and the view to the inside of the house, while maintaining privacy to the tenants from the neighbors in the neighborhood.
