This is the residence for family of three, built in a quiet residential neighborhood. In search of a perfect setting ti lead a fulfilling life, the client found a triple tiered, nine-by-twenty two meters plot of land with a tuck under garage. From the very beginning of the project, I envisioned a house with a south-north opening with outdoor spaces: one above the garage, and another on the deepest top tier of the site, where the client wished to create a vegetable garden.
