This house was built on a softly sloping lot, planted in a large variety of full-grown trees. As per the owner’s wishes, the house should not be split leveled and the bedroom area should be separate. The interior unit was designed with a skylight-lit traffic corridor, running the entire length of the house.

From the second-story surrounding walkway, it can be clearly seen how this spinal cord integrates the different volumes of the home. The materials are left in their natural colors: certified teak wood for the coffered ceilings, doors, door jambs, window frames, and parquet; flat roof tiles and brick in the solarium and laundry patio.

The walls are white covered in a texturized plaster that captures the shadows. The roofs are one- and two-gabled, with gutterless eaves. The roofline provides serenity to the edifice, in contrast with two brick walls with a bold outline. At the ends of the house with no eaves, alettes protrude from the white walls to protect the windows, creating vast shaded spaces.

The tall volumes of the living-dining room are enhanced by the surrounding walkway leading to the study, from where the knee brace inserted alternately in the empty spaces help structure the roof.
