Summer house III is a vacation house. It stands as a reinterpretation of a barn. The volume is split into two specific areas of activity: the more social one (dining, cooking, entertaining) on the east side, the more prvate one (bathing, sleeping and working) on the west side. The social one is housed in the higher portion of the structure, which looks simmetrical but it is not. The building has a monolitc appereance where openings are carved into its deep skin, made of straw based insulation, timber panels and stucco. The entry porch is set with the north south axis that marks the living area.
