The house was designed for a family with 4 children. Both parents are teachers so they wanted to offer their kids the perfect environment where they could play and study. They also wanted to give them privacy and freedom. As a result, they requested a house that would have lower floors for the kids and upper floors for the parents. They also wanted the house to have a playful and creative look.

The site posed some problems because of the slopes but it also offered wonderful views. In order to take advantage of these views and to also work with the site, the architect came up with a design for the house that was long and thin and that also has fluctuating facades that allowed for differentiated views to be admired.

To accentuate the fluctuating façade and to also make it stand out, the architect designed mirrored bottom and top angles. The windows have different dimensions and they offer different versions of the landscape and the panoramic view.
