The fist parallelogram has been resolved by one height foyer that frames the main entrance to compress the visuals from the street and, by accessing the door threshold, decompress the space to enter the most social areas in a double height living room that displays complete transparency to the surrounding landscape by a flexible glassed connection to pool and bbq area on the back garden.
The second parallelogram, on the side , has all the service areas on the primary floor along with a guest bedroom, a photograph studio and home office and, on the second floor, the private bedrooms, and media room around a middle terrace for family gatherings and enjoyment of the natural surroundings.
