This vacation home, nestled in a picturesque valley near the main city, is designed on a single level, providing a seamless connection with the natural surroundings.
The design features walls that do not reach the ceiling, creating a sense of spaciousness and spatial continuity. This approach gives the impression of a floating roof, enhanced by expansive eaves with a diminishing triangular section that contribute to the overall lightness of the structure.
The interior layout distinctly separates the social areas from the rest zones. The bedrooms are oriented outward, allowing guests to fully enjoy the exterior spaces at any time.
The outward orientation of the spaces maximizes valley views and facilitates a direct connection with the surrounding nature, enriching the vacation experience.
