It is consisting of a basement of 102 m2, a ground floor of 94 m2 and the first floor of 84 m2. The house includes a pool as well, attached to the south side of the building. In the brief, the client insisted on one hand on having a completely free diaphanous ground floor, with unobstructed views towards its surroundings and on the other hand required a self-sufficient heating & cooling installation and electricity supply to meet the standards needed to combat the effects of the climate change.
