The house, in fact, consists of two independent houses with a garage shared by several families. the major challenge was to ensure the western exposure of the house to the garden in terms of hot summer weather. there was also a need to find a compromise between intimacy and collectiveness.

All the daytime functions are united within one single volume of the ground floor with a common empty space created by the courtyard and the strip of glazing under the levitating volume of the upper floor with bedrooms. this helped to integrate the house into the garden space, while protecting the inner premises from western sunrays.  the heart of the house is a transparent room for work and hobbies, which offers a view over the whole estate, as if from a captain’s bridge.
