Of the three floors, only two are more visible. The partially buried floor is linked to the land by taking advantage of various gaps created for that purpose. Thus the house becomes practically invisible, despite its great luminosity and spaciousness inside.

The garden does not have any type of enclosure. The boundary of the property is understood as a continuous process, connecting the building with the surroundings.
