The architects chose to keep the cellars and floors of the pre-existent house, the rest being demolished. The roof was replaced by volumes of visible tinted concrete allowing more light inside the house. Moreover the circulation is made along the external wall, from room to room, due to the fact that there are no corridors.

The openings in the existent part were small and vertical. The architects kept them to accentuate the contract with the newly part created on top. The building presents large windows that bathe the house in natural light and also frame the landscape. The interior of this stunning home is open and bright giving it the feel of large, airy space. Furthermore, it communicates with its environment, vineyards, stone walls and the Alps.
