The design wants to emphasise the brightness of the living space and ensure all the necessary and useful spaces for the sleeping/private area. The first room develops along its major axis and is regulated by two facing elements, the fireplace and the cantilever staircase leading to the attic. Both are enriched by a stone element that acts as a base but from which they rise. The fireplace is the heart of the living area and the staircase is the sculptural element. The sleeping area is separated from the living area by the service, toilet and laundry blocks. The rooms open with large windows to the rear, enjoying the light and views of a historic garden.
