The house develops on three levels with a roof terrace used as a swimming pool and solarium, connected by a central communication core made of stairs and elevators. The obligatory two-level street front allows for declaring without filters the non-perpendicular development of the lot to that of the street, placing the third-floor volume set back from the facade and oblique to it.

The construction attached to the street allows for a breathing void space at the back, into which the interior spaces of the ground floor living area and the first and second-floor bedrooms open. Two tall cypresses in the center of the inner courtyard then screen the villa from the neighboring buildings’ views.

All surfaces are conceived as continuous and covered with large ceramic slabs to minimize joint lines, as if each volume were a unique block of pure material. The building’s character, unlike the neighboring ones that host commercial activities on the ground floor, is more “introverted” as it opens towards the inner courtyard with large windows and bright colors. On the street front, it dialogues with the exterior through a composition of openings and voids consisting of two large offset squares, that of the garage on the ground floor and that of the bedroom on the first floor, the last level on the street. The facade is then emphasized by a vertical cut running along the entire building volume: it is at this precise point that the house’s entrance is created, set back and therefore more intimate but distinguished by a strong architectural gesture like the separation of the material.
