This house has been refurbished and expanded to accommodate a large family. Changes included adding a new garage, a library, a pool, and a playroom, which was made by converting the old garage. Stairs were added to connect the old spaces with the new ones. Its stone exterior, columns, and the pool, which borders a steep rock face, give the ensemble the grandeur of a villa.

This inner courtyard links the two floors, and the plants turn it into a garden. Its light colors make it look bigger and help illuminate the interior of the house.

The porch next to the pool calls to mind ancient classical buildings, but its columns have a very contemporary shape. In contrast, the columns of the inner courtyard are rounded.
