The house, inserted in a typical urban plot, heightens the contrast between daily living spaces and private bedroom areas. The living spaces are conceived as an indoor landscape within the mandatory perimeter walls, developing a continuous space the size of the plot. The bedroom areas are scattered in three volumes bridging the living spaces, connected by glazed walkways. These bridges define a sequence of roofed and open spaces, creating ambiguous spaces in the living areas, where the distinction between indoor and outdoor spaces is completely blurred.
