Text description provided by the architects. The house is built on the footprint of an old building, which had to be reconstructed and expanded in order to accommodate the requests of the clients. Orientations and functionality had to be taken well into consideration, as the façade of the building is facing south, eastern sun was perfect for orienting the bedroom windows, and the view towards the neighboring plaza was facing south east. The family wanted to have a private common space, which was best positioned on the highest level, with a terrace on the corner of the building, perfectly facing the plaza. This solution was solved by shifting the main axis of the roof diagonally thus generating a very dynamic space for the top level of the house – the family room – where a gym, a living room and a play-room share the open floorplan. This diagonal roof also helped in creating very clean façade lines.
