joras house

this structure is suspended on 5 beeches and was designed to meet the specific requests of the client who wants to enjoy it with his family, all year round.

as it is still not conceivable to design houses with a single distribution system to supply all the taps with drinking water, we opted for the most appropriate technical solutions.
