The challenge of the project was to design "... a studio that does not see the house, and a house that does not see the studio." The house is immersed in a country context, where a piece of land is located, among beech trees. The design is conceived from the premise of not touching any tree.

At first, we faced a ruined 100-year-old building that only a few surrounding bearing brick walls and a basement was remained of it. Since the bearing walls had to be kept, we designed and used them in the same old shape.
