In front of the cozy lowering of the living room , a swimming pool emerges in height , overflowing like a fountain from which water never stops gushing . The path toward the pool is accompanied by elegant platforms that rise up to a curtain of water , a key element to giving serenity to the garden with its sound . Around the pool , the deteriorated rural constructions that used to serve the old house have been rescued . These small buildings are articulated by the new porch , a structure of solid wooden slats that gathers visitors from the entrance to the plot . This new structure takes them along the passage generated by these constructions until they reach the large window of the living room . Natural materials such as wood and dry stone - laid with the traditional technique of masonry in some parts of the façade and over the swimming pool - allow the house to harmonize with its surroundings . A way of recovering traditional architecture , making life more comfortable and luminous .
