The home has been designed with top quality materials, making the structure so unique that, according to the architect, Benjami­n Calleja, it has become “a work of art in a residence.” The project has complete integration of nature within the context of the space.

The upstairs features all the private areas, a long corridor defines the space and is open to the first level to enhance the open, airy feel of the home. The residence boasts the latest in home automation, with signature devices that controls numerous functions such as various light scenes, temperature sensors, background music in all the rooms, and automatic removal of the large glass panels that surrounds the perimeter of the home. The exterior facade offers a dynamic contrast of white Viroc panels mixed with the dark volcanic stone.
