The project scheme is to organize the public and private areas in two different wings articulated through a vestibule that connects them and a patio-garden that relates them. The entrance to the house is through a closed patio that functions as a preamble to the vestibule where a great perspective is opened on to the patio – garden and the lake. Each wing becomes more private – or more public – depending on the body as it approaches its end. The public spaces are fluid and flexible. It is possible to integrate them into a huge social space comprising living room, bar, dining room, breakfast room, kitchen and terraces.

The formal concept of the house is based on the hip-roof typology from French villas. This typology is not only reproduced in roofs but also in walls and floors. It helps to make continuous yet differentiated spaces.
