The challenge
Creating a contemporary home open toward the garden, keeping a restrained image toward the street while favoring natural light, spaciousness and a constant relationship with vegetation inside.

Materials
Materiality

Material concept
A neutral, light palette that lets the light, the garden and the water define the atmosphere of the house.
