Text description provided by the architects. Despite located in a rural context of complex characterization the BL house develops a true relation with the exterior surroundings through an extended patio that leads to a relaxing and contemplative sunken fire pit. The spacious and light –filled entrance hall suggests the other house spaces and combines the three floors in a straightforward way.
