The housing is integrated inside a dome of faceted glass, as a third skin. The dome creates a protective envelope architecture generated inside a stable microclimate that guarantees comfort of the occupants at all times.
The house is circular, with a courtyard in the shape of the eye, and has 4 floors. The basement houses guest bedrooms, meeting rooms, game rooms and home theater rooms. Edge stays are illuminated by means of underground courtyards and through the pool water, because many of the envelope walls are glass. On the other hand, the interior rooms are illuminated through the central courtyard through the entire house. The basement has a direct lateral access to the island via a pedestrian ramp with a gentle slope, for walks and contemplation. The ground floor houses classrooms, dining room, kitchen and service rooms. The ground floor is almost completely surrounded by a pool and the whole is framed by two longitudinal walls of varying height, with an eye. Thus the house has two entrances (north and south), and a third access to an observation point in the form of Ankh. The first floor houses the master bedroom and the bedrooms of the visitors. Finally, the top floor houses the roof garden, which is vaulted by striking faceted glass dome. The slats of colored glass of the dome have been arranged so that (by varying its color and inclination) remains a homogeneous illumination level inside, as well as a stable temperature, which ensures human comfort at all times.
