So, the house relate to its context successfully.

Abolishing the eaves, the traditional gable roof, joins the rest of the book, giving it a contemporary look. To achieve the effect was necessary to work each of the edges with steel plates. On the other hand, emphasizes the unity of the volume using the same dark wood, both for the roof to the walls. The aim was to generate a single prismatic form. Each window is placed so as to frame the landscape. The result from the interior is as interesting as it takes place from the outside.
