The house is conceived as a soil extrusion rather than an object in the landscape. Framing views is not a priority, but the creation of a microcosm that allows understanding its unique features by revealing its hidden qualities.

The house breaks up in different volumes that create platforms for life. Four platforms are created: one for cars and services, two sheltering the bedrooms and offering open planted surfaces above, and one dedicated to social activities, covered by a series of concrete vaults that anchor the space underneath to the ground. By cantilevering one of them, the house seems an unfinished structure, as a temporary layer laid upon many other ones defining the landscape.
