VOLUMES. There are areas of coexistence between the volumes, in this way the land is much better used, as it distributes spaces along it.

SLABS. In the public volume we raise the slab to take advantage of the views to the bottom of the land taking advantage of the same inclination, in the private volume we generate a terrace on the roof to take advantage of the higher area of ​​the land and the views that are around, both During the day and during the starry nights.
