Architect Leonardo Rotsen signs the space with a deeply personal and sensorial concept. Inspired by his life experiences and the desire to honor terracotta in its purest and most contemporary form, Leonardo envisioned a space that celebrates natural elements such as clay, water, and light — a poetic encounter between the rustic and the refined.

How can nature define a home? Here, it doesn’t just surround, it flows through. The house is an extension of the park: an earthen floor, a ceiling of sky. Stones float, branches divide, trees hold it up.
