The first volume, acting as a screen to the street, contains a luminous training room located under the garage, which overlooks the private courtyard. Below, a second volume comprising the rooms seems to float above the fully fenestrated ground floor. The connection between the two wooden volumes is possible through a large footbridge which penetrates the interior spaces and moves towards the lake.
