It is a courtyard, inspired by the architecture of the colonial countries of Latin America, to which we now overlook room in the house. natural and artificial light are regulated through a sophisticated home automation system: the first, reflecting on of a body of water, it generates a slight reverb that also projects on interior spaces, reviving them; the second creates light paths by positioning a flush LED strips with the ceiling.
