Also in this project the architects had to manage the amount of trees and the slopes of the site. But what is very interesting in this building is the approach used. In fact the architects tried to develop the form and shape of the building on the base of the different points of view among the trees and trying to follow the crown of trees development. In this way, as it can be possible to see in the section, there are several heights and each of them hosts spaces around the stairs like: living/night area/kitchen/dining. The house is composed by two main volumes, one of which is rotated and has an empty space on the ground floor that hosts the garage/loggia.

Since at this stage I'm focusing on the position of spaces on the base of their function, it's very useful looking at this project because of the size of each room and the similar amount of rooms requested. What I'm trying to do is obtaining the best orientation for each room and the work is worse since there are so many big and dense trees. So, as they do with the stairs space locating windows above it on the ceiling, to obtain a lighter space, I need to use the same method but applying it in more than just one point.
For what concerns the structure, it is really interesting and smart to think and design the spaces as indipendent to the main volumes, like if they are a massive skin of the building. In fact, looking at the facades from different points of view, sometimes the inner space is aligned to make the light pass directly through the windows, other times the ceiling sticks out or the facade is rearward creating the desired shadow on the base of the orientation of the volume. In one case the ceiling has a hole and the facede is rearward to obtain a balcony as well.
