As the architects highlight, the concept was to use 50% of the total area for social interaction divided between spaces such as: gourmet, dining room, living, swimming pool and steam room. The rest was intended for the intimate rooms of all members.

This intimate area is located at the front of the house and is separated by a hall at the center, giving access to all rooms and the house background.

The architects chose to use warm materials for the coverings were all natural materials, resulting in a more welcoming, modern and timeless space. 

Among them, stones such as the sandy travertine marble from Egypt that covers the entire floor and walls as in the main hall, black slate, which was used in bathrooms and countertops and rustic granite on the side walls.
