"They say that flowers are all words that the earth says" Fernando Pessoa.Like a flower, the house "patios of petals" is fed and protected from the sun. It touches the floor simply, with a large "U" glazing. An internal curved structural wall that together with the heart of the house (the stairs), builds its interior. The flower petals embrace the entire upper floor. In its organicist movement , the openings, the patios appear. To reinforce their presence, we limit the use to three materials: White, which draws the petals, aluminum and glass. Thus, the petals gain more expression, more “body”.
