The living spaces are all located on the ground floor and the and the living room has a double height under the apparent framework.

The rooms and a mezzanine with a balcony on the living are located on the first floor.

Three terraces, all offering various qualities of space and sunshine allow to offer outside extensions to all the common spaces. 

Compelled by a restraint time and costs limitation, the construction only lasted eight months.
