Located out of the city, this mid-size residence is in a garden. In spite of the large area of the site, the project faced a certain limitations and challenges such as the specific shape and orientation of the site, building regulations and construction, etc. Geometry of the building emerges from four cubes around two vertical and horizontal Axes which base the concept of connection between inside and outside. Building is seen as part of its environment not a single entity.
