Notes
The four levelled villa shows a clear distinction between two of its façades. One is a high walled stone volume; its only opening is suggested through a large window at the top and "narrow loop-holes" distributed over the façade. The other elevation however is broken into volumes that are extruded from one another with each having low arched openings at its corner.
