The architectural object resulted in a contemporary interpretation of a gabled roof building, seeking a strong relationship between the interior and exterior areas, whether they are the garden, balconies, porches, or covered or open terraces. The result was an architectural object that respected its surroundings and had a simple and straightforward language with contemporary details and aesthetics.
