The architect reorganized the ground floor to house a spacious living room with a kitchen and dining area. Hidden behind a white volume coated with grate lines and separating different spaces are the closet, guest toilet and storage. Leaning on the left side of this volume, a staircase connects the ground floor and the upstairs private area. Additional living space was introduced in the attic formed by a mansard roof and offering views of the garden.
