This project comprise two simple volumes, arranged at the rear of a relatively sloped site. The main form, intended for permanent residence for the client and the secondary form, a guest suite for their extended family.
Within the main volume, two bedrooms, accompanied by an ensuite & robe are mirrored on the ground floor, sharing views towards the coast. Above is the kitchen, living and personal study.
