The exterior of the house is a big concrete monolith with few openings that allow the light inward giving as much privacy as possible to the client. This monolith “projects” without support over the garage and penetrates into the interior of the house where the holes increase depending on the areas.

On the ground floor, the interior is conceived as a large open space that begins with a double-height central patio with a glass roof, working also as the focal point of the project. The space extends to a side terrace / courtyard that visually connects public social areas: living room + dining room, family room and the kitchen.

A large wooden bridge connects the master bedroom with the rest of the rooms on the upper floor, giving privacy and protecting from the sun on the double height space of the dining room and central courtyard.

The wine celler is a concrete volume that is accessed from the central patio.
