When imagining and designing the project, the architects worked with two starting points: simple concept and creative solutions. That is why they opted for a palette of traditional materials. On the one hand, it is the red brick facade bringing to the house an old world charm while being in unison with the contemporary elements of interior design. On the other is the exterior carpentry made from black steel and aluminum enlivened by warm wooden accents namely doors and shutters.
