The site is a huge plot of about 16,500 sqm. and the house itself is juxtaposed against an orchard. Focused on the concept of minimalism, clean spaces and simple yet very unique, this abode is all about neat lines, playful volumes and bold characteristics. All this is achieved by soothing textures and an uncomplicated structural design.
