The design consisted of a staircase in glass connecting two vertical masses of natural stone. Since one of the elevations was going to be right at the border with the next lot we had to consider a massive wall without any daylight openings.

 

The house looks like it is freely sculpted in natural stone, lending privacy to the gardens and naturally gives space for daylight, entrances and parking.

 

Although modern, the design has a timeless quality that will most likely work now as it will a few decades later. The materials used are chosen to age gracefully and with a minimum of maintenance. The cedar wood is color stained. The chosen colors will fade over time by the force of the sun. In a few years the weathered colors add a certain pattern as intended to combine with the natural stone. By then the fully developed gardens and some trees will make this house a modern example of a romantic place to live in.
