To match the main structure, the same hexagonal tile pattern was used on the walls of the secondary structure.

The same pattern can be seen on the windows’ sliding grates.

The ground floor boasts of a spacious living room with an excellent view of the garden. It has a kitchen area separated from the main living space via large glass sliding doors.

Access to natural light is maximized by having one large glass screen by the staircase.

There are three windows on the rear of the home and they let natural light in and offer a view of the backyard as well.
