Owing to its location, the water reservoir influences the space of the entire house and changes its nature depending on the recipient’s location.
For the observer beyond the building, the pool is interpreted as a water façade of the building; the user inside the house perceives the pool as a ‘transparent’ room serving as a panoramic window that allows one to observe both people swimming in the pool, and the landscape filtered by the water surface. From the perspective of the terrace it is an infinity pool that forms a viewing point for watching the surrounding wildlife.
This 95m2 house comprises a residential storey and a terrace that covers the entire roof space. The structure of building is based on two construction walls supporting the weight of the overhanging part of the house and the space of the pool supported by a rocky slope. The house is accessed via a small path that allows one to enter the building at the level of the cliff.

One of the key project assumptions was to create a building whose spacious roof would play the role of a home garden/yard. On clear days, this space can be turned into an open-air living room that will become the heart of the house. This multifunctional space is designed as a combination of an entrance area, a terrace, a relaxation area, a garden and a pool.
