In this new residence, an oblong site with a downward slope towards the road is divided lengthwise into two strips, emphasizing the oblong form. With this linear distribution of space a clear distinction is made between living and service zones. The entrance forms a transverse element in the narrower of the two zones– a three-storey space where the linear stairs are lit from above and narrow slits between metal louvers offer glimpses towards the swimming pool. Immediately adjacent to this is an open-plan zone with the living-dining and kitchen functions that is open at its ends towards the gardens. Above the dining area, a void mediates between the two children’s rooms on the first floor. The master bedroom is located on the second floor with an extensive terrace that spreads out to the front along its entire width. Its set-back in relation to the children’s room helps to distance it from the street, creating a retreat whose privacy is emphasized by the slender metal louvers rising from the floor below.
