The project seeks to conjugate two different kinds of landscape: the more urban access road and the garden below stretching up the hill overlooking the valley of Vedeggio . The actual residential spaces are accommodated in the semi-cylindrical volume rising up at the northern end of the building above a long structure containing the upper floor entrance, and the services and swimming pool on the lower floor. The semi-cylindrical volume is compact but voided inside to create apertures, sheltered by the projection of the primary volume.
