Parra House
This is the first house we restored for own use. We started, as always subsequently, with a ruined shell of a house and added seating to the back veranda as well as old styled modern amenities like bathrooms and kitchen.

The Munich Golden House is a unique architectural concept. Its golden geometric facade not only makes a bold statement but also interacts dynamically with light, creating a living, breathing exterior. Inside, the house is designed with the same details, featuring custom woodwork that echoes the geometric patterns outside. The "Munich Golden House" represents an architectural concept designed to provoke thought and inspire further development. Let it shine.
