In the central space of the floor, it was considered a large "pause moment" area, which provides a gathering place for family activities, thus breaking the traditional transition area between private and common.

 

On the first floor are located three bedrooms and their bathrooms. The rooms and office located in the elevations have a pleasant rural landscape, characteristic of the region. This plan has some moments of rupture – interior/exterior – resulting from a clear intention to discover the relationship between light and the absence of it.
