on approaching the house, an elongated bridge crosses a sunken front courtyard and leads to a spacious double-height living area. central to the scheme, this six-meter high room shares a connection with both the front yard, and a larger garden at the rear of the design. with no supporting columns, the structure’s glazed façade opens entirely onto the courtyard, removing the division between internal and external space.
