With an area of 156 square meters, the villa consists of a kitchen, lounge, library, laboratory, and three bedrooms. Each space is connected to the others through two emblematic circulation tunnels. For obvious reasons, it is furnished with custom-made handmade furniture and is also enriched with mosaics and colorful sculptures. All windows are round. Outside it houses a terrace almost as large as the house and a swimming pool.
