We used a 10 ° flexion in two volumes, in order to maintain among themselves a common language. The application of bending, runs one of the volumes in its horizontal axis, and the other in its vertical axis. This gesture created a distant positioning to a formal level between the two block, allowing however have several readings volumes. These large volumes almost blind, provides you a very strong image. Between the "bodies" happens the entry, where highlights, through a sectioning of the volume on the horizontal axis.

Sought to break with some of the architectural forms of identification, especially outside windows that were used in the smallest possible number. Lighting/ventilation of rooms happens from individual small patios, that controls the temperature in a natural way without mechanisms.The owners of the house SG Light are a young couple with interest and knowledge in contemporary architecture.
