The main materials of the building are zebrawood, black granite, and glass; from the dialogue between these elements we get a cozy and long-lasting result but we also get one that's light and fresh.

WHERE ETHICS AND LUXURY COEXIST
We chose zebrawood because of its simple and almost graphic texture. While this type of wood is usually used vertically to avoid complications with the patterns, in this case, we placed it horizontally to make the room feel more spacious. This decision meant that we had to cut big pieces of wood and make sure that the textures coincide from one panel to the next.
The different types of tiles used, defined the size and shape of each room. So, in this building it’s the material that defines the architecture and not the other way round, the material is never modified nor manipulated.
We strategically placed a pond near a constant air stream so that the house is kept cool in an ecologic way.
To unify the different rooms, we used a monochrome palette everywhere while we also framed strategic spots in black so that there was continuity and coherence of elements along the house.
