A parallelepiped module on one level house the bedrooms and service areas, and a raised level is introduced for the kitchen-living area both in an L-shaped room around the black pool, which is situated on the edge of the platform so that the water appears to merge into the sea.

In this way, the view can be enjoyed from the whole house, enchanced by the terrace and the pool. In the basement, which has independent access from the terrace, there is a gym which looks onto the pool through a glass wall.
The whole building has been dressed on the interior and exterior with concrete. The facades which face the views are made of glass, with wooden blinds in the bedroom and exterior canvas blinds in the living-room area. A pergola made of wood and steel provides a shaded area for part of the terrace.
