Then most of the inner spaces have been rationalised to gain more square meters for the main rapresentative rooms. In addition The three levels of the house are treated with different materials. The basement which is related to the ground of the site is cladded with two different kind of stones.

On the ground floor the living spaces are separated through suspended floating platforms which contain different necessary fornitures for the living and dining area. On the first floor all bedrooms have private terraces which are conceived like binoculars overlooking the surrounding landscape.
