In some places the structure is clad with red brick, to convey a sense of strength where it is required. The principle of the project is simplicity. The doors and windows are made with dark grey aluminium, the upper bands are made with patinated lead on external plywood and the floor with the worktops are made of concrete.
Every member of the family contributed to the design of the house, in the choice of colours or tiles. The result is a unique and bright living space capable of greatly improving the quality of life of the family that lives in it.
