From the architect. Mountains, distant horizons, rustic and soft landscape

20 hectares of land. The enclave, a set of rocks and a crown (Scutia Buxofolia) that position the piece

A courtyard to the south, protected, containing the tree

To the north the horizon, the views and the landscape sloping down to the stream that crosses the place

A long vaulted ceiling defines the project 6 meters wide x 24 meters long. The dome rests on two stone walls of the place, also supported by a lightweight tubular metal structure

Below, three pieces of the larger stone, bedrooms, bathrooms, the kitchen counter and grill

A gallery, a long space, covered, protected from the south and open to the north
