Thanks to the creative use of the topography and the characteristics of the environment, the couple of architects created for the family members an unusual living environment that touches the heart and mind. It emerges from an upper fold of land, linear, straight and free of papers. The entrance to it is made through a lower level, just like the belly of a ship.

The result is ultra-modern, almost museum-like.

Visitors are greeted by an impressive entrance plaza, a kind of patio, surrounded by reflecting pools where mature Italian poplar trees have been planted.
