With the barbecue within 3 meters from the kitchen counter, the kitchen is directly connected to the lanai. A walk-in pantry is located behind the kitchen, besides; there is also a cold room, scullery and a laundry with a connection to the garages. Upstairs is on the one side a main bedroom and bathroom, divided by a low wall with a double sided fireplace. The basins are installed in this wall.

The other wing consists of a study and guest bedroom downstairs, and 3 kid’s suites upstairs, some balancing on top of a series of steel piloti. All the habitable rooms in the house are north facing, with solar control carefully considered resulting in a cool house in summer and a bright, sunny and warm house in winter, with a minimum of heating and cooling required. The double volume living area has high level windows above the roof of the lanai, letting in light in summer and sun in winter. Due to the fact that large areas of glass can be opened to the cooling breezes from the pool and water feature, air conditioning was not necessary.
