A room is being built in the garden of a villa. An abstract and elongated volume, sunk into the grass and hidden among the trees, embraces the garden together with the pond. Its end façade narrows gradually until only a door remains to announce the small building. It is a delayed and small-scale arrival: through the door, down the stairs, along the corridor, and then into the room.

Filtered by a sliding veil of expanded metal, it opens up across its entire width to the garden. A long worktop at ground level and a stove turn the space into a room.
