By reinterpreting the archetypal pitched-roof house as structures monolithic both in geometry and materials, the project aims to create “a non-aggressive sensation and a natural visual relation between the user and the building.”

Two distinct environments, related to the time of day, are provided within the structure. The ground floors are dedicated to common daily uses and are completely enveloped in glass.

The upper bedroom floors are more private and come with controlled natural lighting and skylights that provide views of the night sky.
