The house is articulated around three areas: a patio raised above street level; a mixed sequence of stairs and ramps leading from the parking area to the roof; and a perimetric wall that defines the surrounding lot.
The interior is organized by pillars, stairways, and skylights which configure limits and generate spatial tensions. The L-shaped plan presents a blank façade, a reflection of the wall that separates the small patio from the bedrooms and filters the noise of surrounding traffic. Various mobile elements make it possible to form or segregate spaces.
