The court with a skylight is set at the back of the rooms so one can enjoy the life opening to the mountainside and sea. For the roof, the architect uses a shell construction to get the spread of space. The slab reinforcement has 120 mm in thickness and it consists of a single layer.

The roof of the building covers the whole house while the big beam or column of the concrete frame is used against the shell’s thrusts. A steel frame with the reinforced concrete is arranged to realize light construction and simple space.

It is a house with simple construction and at the same time, there is also a rich sequence of the space and a comfortable relationship between the surroundings of the house.
