It has the lower plan for social activities, the upper plan for rooms and services and the roof as a work studio with a terrace. The construction takes up from the north side of the lot, leaving a garden in the south that allows a dialogue with all the spaces of the house, strengthening the interior-exterior relation in a private way. A closed facade emerges to the outside, revealing only the entrance to the house in a volume game that spins and moves around a vertical axis that joins them.

A double and a half height space is cut by a glass corridor, letting light pass and turning itself into the backbone of access to every space of the house.

The roof garden is perforated to create skylights that feed the bathroom of natural light and bright as light ghosts at night into the top.
