The initial idea began with the premise to create an architectural work that would not only be rational but also organic and poetic. The principles that guided this project were:

• Rationalism and structural lightness by using welded steel sections with appropriate modulation and daring compositions;
• Conceptual simplicity and detailing resulting in clean, orthogonal and clearly defined spaces;
• Versatility – a sliding electric awning on the roof of the house allows the open-air deck, a natural extension of the living quarters – a lookout over the Lagoa – to be covered in case of heavy rain or strong sunshine.
