Text description provided by the architects. We would need about 650 square meters to fill the requests of this six people family. The house would have to be spread over three floors in order to adjust to the 10 meters in height difference between the extremes of the longitudinal field.

On the middle floor is the sleeping rooms and the highest floor works likes the main access to the house. Here is the office and an outdoor balcony that enjoys the best view of the whole building.
