the building consists of several rectangular volumes, clearly delineated from one another but connected by a central axis, a horizontal dimension dominates, giving the design an elegant, flat silhouette.

large expanses of glass ensure transparency and create a close connection between the interior and exterior spaces. the flat roof with its slightly sloping metal coverings reinforces the modern, industrial character. at the center is an open area with a terrace and pool, serving as the heart of the building.

the architecture respects nature by integrating horizontally into the surroundings and incorporating existing trees. the lawn and surrounding trees create a harmonious balance between architecture and nature.

overall, this is an example of contemporary, minimalist architecture that emphasizes openness, clear geometry, and the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.
