Since the site was not overly large, the residence had to be built vertically. This choice was also influenced by the views. As you can see, it has a very simple external design. The façade is made of white concrete. In order to compensate and to achieve harmony, the architects also used warm oak wood and linen wallpaper for the interior. These elements almost neutralize the gray cement ceilings and the polished concrete floors, creating an overall harmonious décor.
