The residence, built in 4 levels, integrated on the natural and artificial slot slopes, has the concept of house-castle. The limit allowed height dictated the idea of a recessed garden in basement level, with a small lake to hoste geese and ducks. The path from the road to the main house entrance is a bridge like with railings - chains over the above garden, below which arched caves with ceramic "pitharia" proper lit within night, create a magic stage. The building volumes through concessions leave spaces for verantas without any use of cantilevers. An arched gallery to SW with sea view and to side NW with passive ventilation openings create protected open spaces as an intermediate level to the garden with a lake, which host birds and local animal species.
