The home has been designed as a series of concrete cylinders with open arches, exposing the interior to the outdoors and creating areas for outdoor moments.

Due to the different round shapes, the home has a rooftop terrace and a swimming pool that curves around the home and underneath the terrace.

Another set of stairs, which includes some wooden steps connects the swimming pool with covered outdoor spaces and the garden. Many areas of the home have a view of the concrete arches, adding visual interest throughout.
