The main feature of the morphology is the intonation of the horizontal planes of the building. Thus, the two concrete slabs involve in the synthesis of cubic volumes, "determine" the two levels at which the composition is developed. The shading of the terrace floor, is made with fabric which in combination with the thin metal columns that support the horizontal plane, try to give a lightness to the otherwise "heavy" and "strict" material that exposed concrete is. Intense attention was also given to the functionality of the whole, since the building was asked to house two functions: the residence and the workplace of the owner, two functions which should be both independent and interdependent.
