The nostalgia inherited from the Belle Époque for French art is reflected in this house; balustrades, irregular finishes on the trestles and an arch at the main entrance. The premise in the Casona59 project was to preserve the spirit and memory of the building, restoring the cedar wood doors and windows, which were returned to their original state,...

The house proposes a way of living that starts from a continuous dialogue with the landscape in which it is located. An irregular terrain at the end of a closed street, merging in some portion, to the semicircle of the roundabout that completes the residential area where TOMM House stars with its powerful personality of right angles.
