That shared love brought about instant chemistry. The architect based his design on the principle of the viewfinder of a camera, a reference to the professional activity of one of the residents.

Specifically, the old bungalow was gutted, insulated and redecorated. In addition, there was an extension that includes the summer living. The summer living, with windows on all sides, provides a counterweight to the rigid way of looking in the other rooms.
