Designer's statement

This house was constructed in two lots. One of them was left almost intact, because there was some Atlantic Jungle species still remaining, since this area became one of the most valuable regions of the city.

Almost as I asked for forgiveness for building a Green Wall with also Atlantic Jungle species, it became almost a billboard reminding us of how cities would be much better if men minimally respected nature.

All the spaces in the house are obviously turned towards this little urban oasis, where the only interference was the swimming pool project.
