The "inner house" meets the functional requirements according to program. Following the "house in house? principle it is covered by a traditionally shaped, outer house? with saddle roof.

The inner house is designed with open-plan layout and multiple terraces and loggias according to the clients guidelines. With the fusion of inner and outer house various types of spaces are created. Complex and simple rooms alternate.
