AN OPEN COURTYARD
Its white volume is sculpted in its corner towards the pool. Its sides open to amplify the views of the Mediterranean forest, while its large cantilever is projected to allow shade in the summer period and a greater entry of light during the winter season.
CONTINUITY BETWEEN INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR

At the same time, the succession of platforms on the ground floor –at different levels– fosters the connection of architecture with the landscape.
