The single-family home sits on a crest, distributed in two main wings that occupy two sides of the crest. Extensive garden roofs allow a full integration between the architecture and surrounding nature. In defiance of the established practice of building residential building only with wood, the entire first floor of the house has been designed as a partially subterranean concrete box topped with concrete slab.
