The project site has a particular atmosphere. Close to the sea and adjoining a large pond, the west side of the property is entirely defined by protected wetlands, with its specific palette of colours and vegetation. Large oak trees dominate the access road to the property, creating a peaceful and natural environment. At the same time, this region is bathed in a distinctive light throughout the year, creating strong shadows and contrasts in the landscape. The combination of all these natural aspects along with the strong architectural tradition of the region created the perfect canvas for the project. 该项目站点具有特定的气氛。靠近大海，毗邻一个大池塘，财产的西侧完全由受保护的湿地界定，其特有的颜色和植被调色板。大橡树在通往地产的道路上占据主导地位，创造了一个和平与自然的环境。同时，该地区全年都有独特的灯光，在景观中形成了强烈的阴影和对比度。所有这些自然方面的结合以及该地区的强大建筑传统为该项目创造了完美的画布。
