Bernardo says:

“The micro-climate of this farmland offers frequent wind and showers so the first design strategy was to block those winds with a wall, offer diverse patios and covered courtyards on the ground floor protected from rain and open all living space to the natural green around by using glass walls receded from the exterior. On the upper floor you can find individual private rooms that are enclosed and secluded.”
