Comprised of two houses with a mirrored plan, each of the homes responds to different urban conditions. To the east, the first house looks onto a narrow internal road, with neighbors in close proximity; the second house faces westward onto a high-traffic, main road as well as the hot western sun.

Both homes include a basement, ground floor, first floor, and rooftop. The basement area includes household services and a large multifunction room. On the ground floor, an L-shaped plan contains the house’s main functions, including the living room, dining room, office, and open kitchen all while enclosing an intimate garden and a pool. The main sleeping quarters are all located on the first floor, while occupants enjoy access to a terrace and gym on the roof.
