It is strongly characterized by acknowledging its materiality. The concrete and wooden surfaces smoothly transition from the interior to the exterior and create visual continuity forming a clear composition of cubic masses. The construction of the house is designed as a reinforced concrete foundation tub placed transversely in the terrain, with prefabricated object made of CLT panels installed inside. The asymmetric placement of the house within the tub separates the areas of the terrace and the carport. These external spaces are connected longitudinally by a walkway with a canopy that forms a kind of a frame around the object.

In the entrance area there is access to the hygiene, workroom and technical room. The entrance area leads directly to the living room, which is opened along its entire length to the east side and also visually communicates with the exterior atrium through the dining room. The dining room space is vertically opened with a gallery. Through the gallery and the atrium, southern and western light enters the otherwise east-oriented daytime part, creating different atmospheres during the day. On the upper floor, there are children’s rooms oriented to the east and south with common hygiene and a bedroom area with a separate wardrobe, toilet and bathroom, which looks into the forest through a panoramic window.
