The programme called for an introverted house for a family of five. The design is a simple 16m by 16m monolith, with a layout conceived on the model of the Lebanese central hall house. The technical services of the house are absorbed in an 'intelligent wall', a double enclosure easily accessed from behind bookshelves and closets. The structure is cast in-situ reinforced concrete, the cladding is local yellow limestone.
