Two distinct volumes, perpendicular to each other, are joined by a wall covered in corten steel, which marks the path from the entrance to the back of the site. The lower volume, where the garage, the indoor pool and a small gym are placed, opens to the West and East. The upper volume, where the 

dwelling itself is located, is more closed to the north, opening to the south, in a privileged relationship with the patio and the garden that extends to the poplar grove.
