The green roof mimics the surrounding lawn as well as contributing to the thermal comfort in the house. Structurally, the slab is a rigid platform that is not supported by beams but directly by the pillars, which are distributed modularly in three axes. The cross-shaped metallic pillars are an homage to the elegant proportions of Miesian architecture. Under the roof, there are two programmatic boxes, the first one with the service areas, gym, TV, and playrooms and the second one with the five en-suite bedrooms. The living rooms are located at the extremities and can be completely opened or closed by sliding glass doors transforming the entire house into a terrace. Surrounding the rigid formal distribution, there is a vertical winding wall made of solid bricks arranged in solids and voids.
