Text description provided by the architects. As you cross the entrance on the ground floor, the welcoming atmosphere and sense of spaciousness come together in a warm greeting. The large living room is an invitation for moments of conviviality and relaxation. In the center of the scene, a grand dining table invites memorable meetings, where stories are shared and bonds are strengthened. A small water mirror merges with the continuation of the pool, evoking a sense of serenity that permeates the environment.

The gourmet, strategically located behind the dining table, connects seamlessly with the deck and outdoor pool. This environment is the ideal stage to receive guests and create unforgettable memories. The perfect integration between the living room, the dining area, the gourmet area, and the swimming pool results in a harmonious fluidity that transcends the boundaries of the interior and exterior.

What makes this home truly captivating is its bold architectural form. The solid concrete volume is transformed by strategically incorporated curves, breaking its robustness with a touch of elegance. On the upper floor, this pleated shell adds complexity and charm, giving the volume an intriguing aesthetic. Meanwhile, large glass openings on the lower level provide a sense of lightness and an illusion of floating above the ground.
