The house was located on hard rock terrain. This stone has been used to maintain the terraces of land that in the past were used to grow peaches and almond trees typical of the area.

Topographically there is also a need for the regulations on making the house on one floor to be hidden from the street, so the house also wants to sit on the slope and adapt to it.
