The living areas are opened to the garden and divided with this “baths boxes” that fit over the main volume.
This rhythm of volumes results in the second degree of privacy. 

Constructively, the houses have a great simplicity of methods and finishes, with the use of American pine in floors, Frames from Panoramah and baths coated Marble Ataíja.
