GROUND

With generous views directed towards the ravines, mountains and ravines, it was the first point that stands out in the location of the land, the problem, or rather the main area of ​​opportunity for it, was the 20-meter slope.

CONNECTIONS

Thanks to the aforementioned unevenness and the terrain platforms, the access floor is continuously connected to each floor of the generated balconies.

 

FLUID CONTINUITY

From access until the end of the ground so you can navigate without repeating inniterrumpida paths connecting each area creating a continuity and a liquid architecture.

 

TERRACE
