The design of the house reinterprets the ancient stone drywalls, creating a new rural man-made topography using simple construction technologies. A residential pocket was created between the stretches of space forming walls, much like an artificial grotto, that resembles a primitive shelter.

Covering the roof and terraces of the house is a green roof with a mixture of plants and local rocks.

The layout of the house consists of two levels, with lounge on the first floor. A large overhang provides shade and shelter for the interior.
