The façade is kept closed based on a language of latticework and a single opening, thus determining its own materiality. With a "U" scheme, the architectural floor plan is resolved with the pool and social areas as its main axis. The entrance to the house is through a transition from the square to the main hall, which does not allow discovering the space until it is located in the main room, which serves as a nodal and distribution point to private areas, social areas for recreation and services . The program required a balance between these living areas to integrate the different activities carried out by the family today and in the future.

The pool covers a double function; Being a mirror of water inside the house that reflects and generates passivity and meeting the center of the home, as well as being a social integrating element unifying the games room, terrace, Jacuzzi and dining areas.
The upper floor visually levitates from the ground floor thanks to the projection of a horizontal strip which gives a gesture of lightness in the general volumetry; The intimate area and other family activities are located on said floor; The relationship between this floor and the rear façade of the house was resolved by strategically locating areas such as the gym, living room and study. The materiality of the house is achieved through the dialogue generated by the integration of natural finishes, raw tones with the contrast and warmth offered by wood; Thus achieving together an ideal balance of form, function and materiality.
