In this project, the challenge consisted in identifying the needs, preferences, and any particularities that its residents might have in order to design a house that combines architecture and living space. The house comprises two floors, a swimming-pool, a garage, a porch, and several outbuildings which include a game room, a laundry and more storage rooms, making perfect sense to connect the garage to the main building by designing a new volume.
