The stilt structure concept was adopted to avoid ground impacts and by making the house elevated, like a treehouse.

Ground Floor Plan

Divided in two blocks with different levels and roofing: one has two bedrooms and a cement roof tile over wooden beams and plywood ceiling; the other has a living room with a porch that gives a 360º view of the surrounding area.
