BOTH WINGS ARE SINGLE LOADED AND PRIVATE SPACES ARE DOUBLE HEIGHT IN ORDER TO MAXIMIZE VIEWS TOWARDS THE SEA, WHILE COMPLEMENTARY BEDROOMS AND SERVICES ARE OPENED TO THE BACK; TOWARDS THE EXISTING GOLF COURSE. THE PIECE IS UNIQUE AND SHOWS A STRONG SCULPTURAL CHARACTER. IT IS A CONCRETE FRAMED STRUCTURE WITH AN ENVELOPE MADE OF CERTIFIED WOODEN PANELS. THESE MODULAR SERIAL PANES ARE MOVABLE AND TINTED IN WHITE SHADES.
