A double project springs from there, now and then symmetrical and differentiated by the various family demands, that, sees, however, to speak coherently an only compositive language even if managed with light but meaningful varying materials.
As regards the outside, we consider enough a veil to hide the line of eaves and the adoption of a delicate grey aluminium bris-soleil instead of a more traditional window-sill, to guarantee a new reading of the building
