The term with which this house was baptized comes from the French, meaning Shelter. The large amount of vegetation gives meaning to this concept.

Structurally, the dwelling takes the form of a group of four boxes, each surrounded by three layers of concrete, vines and glass, with trees with flowering branches growing on their green roofs. This assembly creates a facade that functions as a greenhouse, with chrome enclosed in glass and open to sunlight.

The four glass boxes that make up the house are oriented at seemingly random angles. Every corner is informed by pre-existing features on the site, including small trees and adjacent buildings. Each volume rises to a different height, like some kind of mountain range. With this reference to a mountain range, the architects describe the interior of the house as four caves, flooded with light that enters through the glazed roof.
