On the western side a continuous glass surface allows you to enjoy the view of the Como lake. The deep frame above the glass surface manage exposure to direct sunlight in the winter and summer solstices. The materials are based on maximum simplicity. The tympanums are made  in concrete - formwork type OSB  (wood chips pressed) that returns to the surface a smooth, natural appearance, the roof structure is composed by steel profiles.

The four tympanum  are designed entirely covered with creeper species "ficus pumila." The creeper, as well as reducing the impact of the built volumes in the park, reinterprets historic customs. In the past  this method to cover architectural surfaces often was used on walls  and pavilions of the most important historic villas on the Como Lake.
