Thought as matrix of layers of privacy, makes a statement between the public and the private space and between the working, social and private areas of the house. White simple volumes are massive towards the street and become lighter opening towards the lake behind. The working area facing the street and the private areas looking to the water, divided by a buffer zone in the middle floor conceived as a social space
