Besides, on the ground floor, there are all the social areas strongly connected to each other and looking for a strong relationship with the outdoor patios. Also, they open mainly to the south patio over the pool and east patio overlooking the dynamic landscape provided by the Ria. The kitchen opens to the living and dining room through two large sliding doors.

In this floor there are also a bathroom and a multipurpose space that allows the extension of the living room. On the first floor, there are three suites, two facing South and one facing East, always looking for the best relationship with the sun and the views. On the attic floor were located two bedrooms and a bathroom for the smallest kids of the family. Once again, the relationship with the surroundings and sun exposure were decisive in the organization of this floor.
