An empty lot that was planned from the beginning, with the collaboration of the architect, to maximize the garden space by placing the L-shaped house in one of the corners allowing for every room to have a view of the expansive garden united by a swimming pool.

Along with views of the pool, the property boast an outdoor shower, grass growing between oolite pavers and a natural glade in the corner complete with a hammock between strategically placed coconuts. photography- Tamara Alvarez
