In its location, the workshop, understanding its condition as an edge is attached to the slope, blending in with the landscape. On the one hand, it maintains a low scale, taking care not to obstruct the view and coexist with the adjacent buildings to open to the horizon on the other side.

In the design and construction, there is a balance between tradition and contemporary architecture using local stone cut with local rigging techniques and a floated steel roof to mark the landscape.
