Tethered by columns, the house hovers in detachment above a verdant landscape. The impluvium cuts through the center of the house to reconnect the interior to nature; the water from the site and roof collects to a cistern below the impluvium. The roof and south face are clad in photovoltaic panels.

​

Beneath the PV’s, the roof drains toward the impluvium. Cut into the plinth are the impluvium, a garage, a swimming pool and a garden promenade.The walls are views. The east and west windows minimally open to cross ventilate.The Vierendeel steel structure provides for interior planning with few structural dependencies. The plan is mutable.
