La distribución original de tres dormitorios se transformó en una planta de dos dormitorios para ampliar las zonas comunes y potenciar la función social del hogar. Los tonos azules y el hormigón visto se combinan con roble, teca, chapa de madera, azulejos y metal. Las líneas depuradas, la circulación fluida, el almacenaje oculto y el mobiliario a medida generan una atmósfera serena y amplia.
