The day-use areas are located on the ground floor, while the bedrooms are found on the upper level. The interior courtyard not only articulates the different spaces while providing a feeling of transparency and luminosity to the interior space, but it also works as an element of thermal control that warms the house in winter.

This space, enclosed with floor-to-ceiling windows, extends to a porch protected by a large cantilever. The continuous flooring, together with the illusion of the weightless roof, merges the interior and the landscape into one single space. The kitchen, connected to the living room, the courtyard and the porch, can be opened on both sides, so it works a social gathering space around its island and the outdoor barbecue.

The exterior façade combines white render with wooden linings in the soffit and around openings. The interior materials offer a minimalist atmosphere with simple continuous pavements and white plastered walls. The structural system of the building combines a steel framework with composite floor slabs.
