The house was imagined as the primordial shelter that, like a snail shell or the Fibonacci Spiral, sets up a spatial sequence starting from small private spaces, bathroom and bedrooms, continuing to bigger spaces, a public kitchen and a dining room, and then opening up to the outside with a big glass screen.

The following spatial layer is the covered porch that winds around the house. The porch, bordered by a semi-transparent screen made of thin hornbeam trees, is a space that, depending on its position in the layout and sun and view requirements, has a more or less defined inside – outside border that is filled by a flickering play of shadows. The heart of the house is opened, the light creeps in through the cracks.
