The building is configured as an autonomous platform suspended above ground level and is generated by a modular structural grid. This establishes an artificial reference plane, resolving the visual lightness of the volume and the technical insulation from the soil in a single gesture.

The exterior features a monolithic dark wood envelope, an austere skin that absorbs light. In contrast, the interior reveals the warmth of natural wood, creating a more intimate athmosphere.

The floor plan is ordered by a linear distributive axis that separates a fluid glazed pavilion facing the garden from a rational sequence of private rooms. The kitchen and living room are the only spaces in the house that visually connect the inner garden with the forest at the rear of the site.
