The built area ranges from 245 m2 to 275 m2 and is divided into three levels. The patios are an important element in the design, since they unify the houses with each other, respecting sunlight and particular programs.
The architectural program is given as follows, although with a different distribution. On the ground floor, the social area is generated, on the first level the private area of the secondary rooms and TV room or study, and finally, on the second level is the main room and the services.
