This house covers the maximum possible area, echoing the shape of the site. It is arranged around a courtyard, articulating its spaces as an extension of this central space.

Beginning from a capricious shape, this house encounters its first sharp boundary in the outline of the awning.

The auxiliary zones resolve the geometry, tranquilising the main spaces.
