The space is generous: 633 m² built on a plot of land with a total area of 750 m² , which maintained the grandeur of the house but left an excellent circulation area.

Its structure adapts perfectly to the vegetation present , and the entire space was designed to strategically receive natural light. Furthermore, the decoration has few elements, which makes the house even more spacious.
