The arrangement of the patios, facing but out of date, and a wooden piece of furniture, organize the social spaces on the ground floor.The patios with dimensions and geometries similar to the interior programs and the large sliding carpentry maximize the relationship with the exterior.On the second floor, there is a space for mixed uses, with a flexible plan, limited by two opposite terraces that overlook the main patios and reinforce the use of outdoor space.
