“In 30 or 40 years we will be amazed to see how un-livable where the office spaces of today.”
– Jean Nouvel

The project emerged with the idea of taking advantage of the views from the residence to the eucalyptus forest that is located adjacent to the plot. A section is extracted from the volume of the house to create a central patio where an existing Eucalyptus is preserved; and the detached volume generates a body on the side to create the main entrance of the residence.
