The ground floor is not only seen as a passage or a means of reaching other spaces, rather it is designed as a prolonged threshold, stretched 20 meters along the length of the building, this horizontal platform connects the street level to the back garden and accommodates various events.

The combed cement technique, used on North and South facades. The play of light and shadow during different hours of the day, creates an eye catching effect that has a handmade quality which also acts as the conductor of rain water, keeping the façade clean.
