The building followed planning rules and restriction, so the main volume should have been 9x9 m large and with two floors. On the main volume lies another one, with 6 m length and only one floor. Nu.ma first designed a platform that merges with the ground, where the house is inserted. To avoid the massive effect of the building on the elevations, Portuguese architects designed a set of lines, merging the floors and establishing some rules on the windows and facade finishes. The result was the division of the elevations in three equal parts (2.1+2.1+2.1 m). This rule allowed to create a recess, trough the rotation of the section S0, to emphasize the house entrance.
