The “U” shaped house is formed by two parallel volumes joined by a wide corridor where the entrance hall is located.
These two volumes of only one floor are linked on the first floor by a perpendicular one facing West.
The entrance hall, in the union of the two volumes, is marked by the presence of a double height and by the transparency over the water mirror, forming a scenic space and a hinge of the entire house.
