Near the summit of a mountain, between the morning bay window – to the east – and the evening bay window – to the west, a blank wall appears to float between the concrete floor and roof, both of which restrict its movement. If the door is opened for you, the curtain will be raised and you’ll find yourself on stage. Cross the reception area which is made out of wood, go past the dividing wall and then take in the surrounding landscape in all its beauty. The reception areas have a double height; from here, the “sea view” dominates the building. Thereafter, your eyes will constantly be amazed at the discrete yet surprising views which are created through non-portable items being hung up. Back on the premises where there is a greater degree of privacy, go through an area made of wood which contains all the service rooms and look at the side views which stretch as far as the distant horizon.
