The building is discreetly embedded in the meadow of the Sierra, allowing Nature to be the main attraction.
We combine the minimalism with the purity of materials – sometimes traditional, on other occasions modern: Vertical glass surfaces, concrete structural elements left visible, earth toned plaster walls, and the fifth facade, with its Japanese rock garden connecting to the open horizon.
Austerity cohabits with the warm and singular elements such as Chinese antiques and select Balinese furniture as well as bamboo, lotus flowers, arum lilies and other subtropical plants.
The basic philosophy behind the construction is Fengshui (風水): The south-facing building with ventilation towards the north, creates a pleasant bioclimatic effect. Furthermore, heat and cooling is provided by an advanced aero-thermal heat pump system, that extracts renewable energy from the air, which is distributed via a radiating floor.

All in all, a welcoming and relaxing ambiance, that invites its inhabitants to contemplate nature.
