The design of the house provided a simple solution for the needs of a single occupant. It consists of two masses, one containing an open kitchen, dining area and living room and the other comprising the bedroom and adjoining bath. Both of these spaces open onto a private terrace.

A guest room was constructed separately away from the main house in order to avoid cutting down an old olive tree. The space between the two units forms a patio shaded by the olive tree. Both units are load-bearing stone constructions.
