  The main features of the house are open spaces, its materials and the 45-degree rotation of the traditional roof. The result is the creation of four identical, stereometric and trapezoidal sections. Materials are: reinforced concrete, used to eliminate any structural element and reduce the construction costs, which was placed using common yellow panels and leaved internally exposed; wood, used for a few elements – kitchen, bathroom door, furniture and window frames; helicoptered concrete with a quartz paste finishing for the floors.
