This wing opens onto the outdoor terrace, which runs longitudinally by the swimming pool, and which, by means of stepped platforms, descends to the plot area that retains the characteristics of a mountain.

At the west end of the terrace area is a small pavilion with an open covered area, a toilet and a storage room. On the upper floor, which is located above the west wing, there is a program of four en-suite bedrooms, with bathroom and dressing room, and a living room. The building is located on the plot in such a way that the existing trees can be maintained. To do this, and in order to maintain each of the trees at their current level, the building adapts to the topography of the plot, creating several platforms of land shaped and defined by small gardening walls.
