The xv houseresponds to the needs of a three-member family, with reception areas, living areas, bedrooms, bathrooms, auxiliary areas, warehouses and closed parking in the basement.

So the ground floor level is being formed as a united open space with large transparent facades, while the bedrooms are organized into a two-storey, closed, monolithic volume that resembles a floating space above the transparent ground floor. That volume has been shaped with three shells, half-open recesses and openings of varying sizes, that give a distinctive sculptural aspect to the building.
