The terraced plot is located on the eastern slope of the hill, with a 10-15 km panoramic view
characteristic of a penthouse. The layout of the house enables its 180-degree
exposure to the surrounding space. Total glazing ofdayzonesenhance this visual
experience.
The ensemble ofthreecontainers (60 sqmeach) is sited on two
natural terraces, the "Guest Container" occupying the lower one. The "Bedroom
Container" leans on the slope and the "Common Area Container",
which rests on the upper terrace.
Though the house
has two floors, it actually consists of one single room. Maximum openness of
inner premises enable natural cross-ventilation. Besides, it is very convenient
in case of having a lot of guest around at a time, and is especially welcome in
hot summer.
Interestingly,
though the house was designed with strong pragmatic considerations in mind,
practice showed that this small plot has a lot of romantic features.
