The building consists of two different volumetries adjoining each other. The first, in a parallelepiped form, is developed along two floors and provides the conventional program of a house.
On the ground floor are the social spaces, which open to the south, over the swimming pool and to the west over the garden.
The staircase, connecting to the upper floor, ends in a small vestibule that also serves as a reading or study space and is illuminated through a large glass window by the constant light of the North. From here, a corridor to the East distributes the two bedrooms, with a shared bathroom, and at the south end, the master suite, comprising bedroom, dressing room and private bathroom.
The west façade is marked by the balcony that serves the bedrooms, punctuated by a vertical laminate that protects small gardens onto which the baths open and which at the same time gives them privacy.
The second body, irregular in shape but orthogonal, leans against the east side of the lot’s perimeter, developing on a single floor. All of this volume contains functions that are complementary to the functioning of the house, such as the garage, the laundry room, a small partially covered outdoor patio, storage, poolside bath and the technical area.
