The house is vertically linked by an omnipresent spiral staircase, that connects the ground floor to an open attic, fun area. In between, the bedrooms floor. The presence of the white and light, in opposition to the traditional darkness and chaos.

Outside, a plain bright color against the neighboring multi-color ceramic tiles. In the ground floor, a thermowood coating, in different directions camouflaging a garage door.
