In conclusion, the undertaking is an antithesis: Made out of glass blocks, silver sheets, and wooden, invades the house to unfold, deploy, and flip itself on the partitions, the ground, and the ceiling giving rise to acocktail bar. Organized in an oblong array of fluted panels, in keeping with the black arcade, merging into the subsequent house diagonally – the design with conical lights and vegetation suggests a sanctuary, an escape: Lair.
