Text description provided by the architects. It was asked for an introvert residence, with internal yard where the water would constitute the sovereign element of the space but also of the whole work.

That is why the compact skin, which encompasses the residence and enclose the open space, revealed on the west. The natural elements enter the residence, changing gradually in colours and being filtered at the top of her volume.

The access is tangent to the curve and the spaces refer to the interior, while the "public space" of the living room, being transparent, sees outside with a view to the thicket. The internal circulation in the ground floor organizes, separates and unifies the inside with the outside, while in the first floor it recedes leaving the spaces in free optic to the yard. The plantings outdoor are allocated freely and not, up to the limit of the plot.
