The house structure plays a formal play of glass and wooden boxes, including two horizontal bands that mark the façade. This house is elevated 50 cm from the ground by the lower concrete slab to build a platform for domestic activities. There is also a 37cm-thick slab on the top of the house that defines the shaded area.
