As the composition emerges as a gesture of plastic treatment of a surface that forms the roof. Indeed, this house located on an elongated plot with entrance from the street on the narrow side that is adjacent to the street at an angle, resulting to a trapezoidal plot. Also, the design of the house follows the outline of the plot.

On the other hand, the design of the surrounding area follows the design of the house: the pool, the seating areas and the stairs are all wedge-shaped, a gesture that introduces vanishing points and directs the view. The three en suite bedrooms, the kitchen, the living room and the office, organized on two levels (ground floor and first floor) and two distinct long narrow volumes with a sloping roof. Besides, the two wedge-shaped sections are placed parallel and connected at their lowest part. The slope of the roof in combination with the full opening of the façade with the greatest height. Therefore, allows unobstructed view from the inside of the house and plenty of natural light despite its west orientation.
