This house has been articulated as a stacking of its three floors –its ground floor expands lengthwise in the plot and flanks a linear pool: the dining room on its one side and the living room on its other retain an immediate, unburdened contact with water. On the same floor the privacy from incoming guests is secured by a long wall that demarcates the entry path and protects visually both the living room and its terrace on its other side. This terrace cantilevers towards the street side, above the garage ramp. On the ground floor the dining, living and kitchen areas retain an open arrangement while a staircase of very dark tones becomes a circulation core in stark contrast with the whitish tones predominant in the interior.
